NNTP? for TV? Is this legal?

  Of course not. But if You were running a company selling a product, and there were large groups of people that wanted to pay you for this product, but you refused to offer them a manner to do so, would you be surprised that they go and "steal" it from somewhere easily accessible? I don't claim piracy is "right", but it certainly isn't unreasonable.

    It's brought about through market failure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_failure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_failure

  Yes, in The Netherlands it's perfectly legal. We have to pay a considerable fee for our blank media (it's twice UK price) but in return downloads are accepted. That's why NNTP "sharing" is so popular here.
