Re: Is it immoral to download from unauthorized sources (c) TV shows over 39 years ol
I do not think its immoral to copy 40 year old shows. To be fair I do not think its immoral to copy something. If I go to the furniture store,see a table I like and go home and make a table exactly like the one I saw in the store. Did I do anything immoral,did I steal anything?Hell no I did not do anything immoral or steal anything. Now if I go and try to take credit for the design of the table or try to sell it as an original then it would be immoral and fraudulent.
I made a poll on a similar subject last year.

You would think that really old TV shows (40 years or more) would have expired copyrights, but that's often not the case. Do you believe it's wrong to download such shows from unauthorized sources such as torrents?
Just to be clear, the question is about shows 40 years old or more which do not have expired copyrights.
