Didn't mean to sound at all harsh there - sorry! I was mostly being tongue in cheek when I said that. :)
I'm actually mostly lawful most of the time, and probably won't use this service. Extending the 'the servers are in a country so the copyright isn't at issue' argument from what Librivox does, LV's stuff is only really legal if *the user* is also in America, or in a country in which the material is clearly PD.
Which this stuff definitely isn't, in the US.
Having done some more poking, there actually are some legal download/stream services (which you're probably aware of), e.g. Hulu.com, Comedy Central, and (I think?) NBC (which has the original Star Trek series for streaming, which is pretty amusing). Are there other good lawful spots you can point me to?
