I know talking about / asking about file sharing is taboo here, but how about asking, “Does anyone have (television program x) on video tape?”
Wanna know before I ask and get in trouble. 
I think those have been shut down before. Maybe. Did you try a search in CS?
Er, not really sure what to look under, or I would’ve done it.
Anyone? Mods? I don’t want to inadvertantly break rules.
Arighty… Waiting another 24 hours on a response to this, then I’ll start asking if I don’t hear anything. Seems fair enough, yes?
I would recommend emailing Dex or another admin directly. I’ve found that they respond quicker than to a post or thread - they don’t always see those.
I suggest Dex because he is both an Admin and assigned to Cafe Society.
A moderator might be okay, but it’s probably a senior mgmt question, so an admin will probably see it eventually anyway.
This query has been received, as well as noted here, and someone from the staff will get back to you on this as soon as possible. Apologies for the delay.

I’m not crazy about helping people obtain bootleg copies of copyrighted material.
I wish you the best of luck with your quest, but please keep the SDMB out of it.
Thanks,

I was under the impression that the law allowed copying and sharing media with your friends (ie making a mix tape for your girlfriend) as long as you didn’t sell it or do so on a large scale. I’ve mailed a copy of a West Wing episode to a fellow Doper who’d missed it.
I will assume Ike’s ruling is ‘final’, and will drop the subject.
