REF: Copyright question

["Hamer, Sharon" <snhamer@METHUEN.K12.MA.US>]

Is it legal to download television programs from the internet. If an episode
from a currently running TV show is on the internet, is it  there legally?
And is it legal to download it, save it on a CD and watch it on your own
computer?

TIA
