New! Woodworking TV 24X7 on your PC! Maybe you folks have heard about it already but I thought I'd give you a heads up.GaryHere's what they say about themselves on the internet:WELCOME!We want to officially welcome you to the launch of The Woodworking Channel!After many months of hard work, we're finally ready to share this channel with you.

Notice, I said OPINIONS :) Pulling from a bittorrent site is no different than pulling it off your TiVo to your computer. I don't know the legalities of either, I'm not a lawyer.
