Lucstef, I mean no offence by this, but you really should read up on copyright. Any creator of an image holds the copyright over it. That includes the makers of any television program. Copyright is, "The right to copy". You can videotape a show for your own private playback, but you can't tape it and then put it on public viewing - whether or not you charge money for it is irrelevant. Similarly, you may tape a song you like off the radio and listen to it privately, but you can't make a dozen copies and give them to your friends. That's piracy. The fact that something is publicly aired does not mean anybody can reproduce it. Quite the opposite! This website is by definition a public reproduction of anything that appears on it, and as such subject to copyright law. The link attached you (and others) may find useful as it talks about many myths attached to copyright. Again I mean no offence and I hope you and others find this info useful. Better to be educated and careful than get bitten by a lawsuit :)"you are terrifying
