That's because it's illegal. You haven't actually paid for the shows.You've paid for access to the stream of content, but that doesn't automatically grant you access to acquire that same content from a third party. I actually don't think that's settled law. IsoHunt's "business model" or lack thereof isn't my problem. In the case of LOST in particular, I torrent each show as it comes out, then buy the DVDs at the end of the season, which stay shrink-wrapped and unwatched in the closet. To be (more) ethical, I suppose I should probably bury the box sets in the back yard to make sure nobody else can derive entertainment value from watching them. The reality, of course, is that copyright as an enforceable legal concept is over, for better or worse.
