I did read the case but was still unclear. The case stated:
"noncommercial home use recording of material broadcast over the public airwaves was a fair use of copyrighted works, and did not constitute copyright infringement, and that petitioners could not be held liable as contributory infringers even if the home use of a VTR was considered an infringing use."
I am clear on the fact that I can use my VCR/TiVo whatever to record the episode and it be fine and legal. What I was asking for was whether or not it was legal to download a recorded broadcast that was recorded by another person. Since this case is from 1984 it really does not cover the sharing of said recordings.
