[NTLK] Watching CNBC program on the history of Apple

[Ken Whitcomb]

Perhaps my understanding of your intent was based on the use of the  
term download rather than stream. If you download a copy, you should  
have rights in order to do so, usually by either purchasing it or  
having permission from the copyright owner. If you view it from a  
streamed source, then the provider of the stream presumably has  
distribution rights to allow people to view it, but not keep a  
downloaded copy. If they don't, in today's world, they'll usually  
receive a C&D letter in short order, or their ISP will shut them down.
I don't want to get into an OT flame war about copyrights, I simply  
misunderstood your intent.
Apologies.
