What is the copyright for TV documentary like Discovery Channel's? Is that legal to download?

Same as any other Copyright. All rights are reserved to the author/publisher, absent any specific license to the contrary.\n\nNow, some channels and some programs grant specific licenses to people, for non-commercial home or educational use. This license provides additional privileges to the audience, but it's not something that is automatic just because of the channel the show was broadcast on. When in doubt, call the TV station and ask what their policy is for particular show. Their legal department will tell you.

If it's the one I think, it's offered by the oweners of Discovery Channel.  Do some research.

It's legal: there is no law regarding it.\n\nHowever you cannot directly link to copyrighted material. You can write the webmaster of that site for permission, and then publish it.

All downloading of anyhting copyrighted is illegal. If you are not paying for the music/movie/ whatever, then the producer is not making money, therefore YOU get in trouble =(. Any P2P sdharing can be legal, but not if you are downloading copyrighted items, because that is copyright infringement. If you download some neighborhood garage band, then that would be OK, as long as they don't care, but if it is like Britney Spears or something , then yes, it is illegal.

It's been a while since I read up on this, but copyright law does allow for a "fair use" clause -- where if your production is a parody, or is for educational purposes, you should be ok.\n\nAnother thing is to contact the copyright holder and ask for permission.  I've done this several times in the past and to my surprise I've received said permission.

No...it is copyright infringement....I would seek permission first....and then you can acually sell the permission...lol...and make a profit.\n\nCopyrights are very easy to obtain...and there is not always a record of it. BE CAREFUL.

You have a few options - You can download WinMX and LimeWire, they are like Napster, and can be used to search for everything you could want. But the best thing to do is to download "BitComet", then you will have access to nearly every single TV show and movie you can imagine, all free:\n\nYou can get it here:\nhttp://www.bitcomet.com/\n\nAnd then use this search engine to find ANYTHING:\nhttp://www.torrent-find.com/\n\nYou'll never be bored again.

You can't find the whole program legally. If you want to brush with the law you can download "Limewire" and search it under programs. But pirating is against the law unless you already own it and you just lost it. Hope you have the reciept/ box!

Well, this is probably a bit illegal... But I think you should look into something called "torrents".

Try www.PBS.org. I they have a store there were you can buy their shows or atleast they will provide info on how you can get a copy of the show.

Charge 1000 times as much as you would here. They'll only buy 1 copy & reverse engineer it. They don't respect copyrights and have a long history of infringement.

The high defintion channel (HDTV) runs the series as reruns. Other than that, as far as I can tell, you can't. You have to rent them, or buy them, or borrow them from a friend who has the DVDs. Downloading them is illegal and is copyright infringement, and carries a very, very hefty fine.
