Exactly what an0n said. Redistributing this kind of media without consent from the producers is illegal, and you all know we cannot and will not tolerate talks about illegal operations around here. It is exactly the same thing as discussing warez, and you know our policy on that.
And please don't push it.
Actually... AFAIK, the DVD-Rip, DivX movies are illegal, but I don't believe that the ~200Mb 45 minute episodes are. Heck, people record those off their TV's on to VCR all the time, and that ain't illegal. I think where they make the distinction is a thing called "broadcast-quality", where a copy could be reused in a professional setting with no noticable difference in quality from the original. And since the 200Mb 45 minute TV episodes are of noticeably lower quality than the original broadcast, I doubt they're illegal.
But that is just a clarification and is completely beside the point. This will not be something that we will allow to be arranged using HLP, plain and simple.
