Actually your logic is a bit flawed... Anyone in the world would be
able to download the clip.. It'd be like making a videotape copy for
everyone on earth who wanted one.. basically, world-wide distribution
of someone else's property.

TLC *owns* that program.. I'm sure at the end of it they'll have one
of those: "If you'd like a copy of this program send a check or... "
Granted the clip could probably be put up on the web and the worst
that would happen is a "please remove our material from your web page"
email, so by all means, take your chances and post it.. I'll gladly
download it. I'm planning on taping the show too, but would appreciate
having a digital copy on my computer also..

Also, if you're going to post it, put up the highest-res .mpg that you
have the web space for.. That way all the people who are missing the
show will be able to tell what is going on.
