and if he just streams stuff you can get for free (daily show, comedy network),
there are lots of sites, and shows you can get, and various other things.
He even gets a lot of youtube stuff, which was free last I checked.
it depends on your interests, you can get it.
You can also put your own DVD library on your system for viewing,
you bought the DVDs, you can watch them anyway you want.
it doesn't have to be illegal, in fact, such thinking is a bit archaic by modern
standards.
but one aspect I do hate is, why isn't internet radio free? that's just dumb.

There is a very large market for DVD sets of
shows, and as long as the
set contains extra materials (commentary is usually a requirement),
the set can sell to a customer even if they have watched all of the
shows online.
To use your music analogy, I buy DVDs for the same reason I buy CDs.
I'm leery of online music and online shows due to the restictions
imposed on listening/viewing.
No doubt, then, that your friend is doing this quite illegally. I
would like to know what internet/cable/whatever service he is using
that not only *provides* but *allows* every show on every network over
TCP/IP.
I'm not sure I follow this. If this guy uses MythTV to save all the
shows to NAS for time-shifted viewing, how is that "illegal"?
