No cable due to appartment fire.. firefly/enterprise/buffy premier online?

[uv23]

Subject says it all. I missed all three season premiers and there's no word yet on when my cable will even be restored. Does anyone know where I can find these episodes online?

I hope you're not expecting to use my messageboards to exhange info about how to accomplish illegal activities.

I don't care what you do elsewhere, but you don't do it here - for obvious reasons.

Hmm, didn't realize previously broadcast televsion shows were a concern. Oh well.

They are, however. Shows broadcast over the public airwaves are still protected by copyright laws, and for some reason, while you can videotape them and give a tape to a friend under fair use, the courts have not decided that Internet distribution of the same material is fair use as well.

This is generally because they fear its potential scale, and once they legalize that, pretty much all peer-to-peer sharing becomes legal for TV shows. They greatly fear that this slippery slope will do a lot of damage to the entertainment industry.
