"Illegal" is such a strong word.
And actually torrenting isn't illegal, it's what you torrent that is.
Free-to-air TV shows can be released quite legally and fine as can (I believe) some Cable shows.
It's games and music that's generally the illegal ones.
just so you know and stuff.
There's been a few legal threats from hosters toward one of my major input sites (FinalGear.com) for distributing Top Gear and Fifth Gear, but it's all perfectly legal (I'll find the actual name of the law that says it's OK later if you wish)
