"What I never get is how sensitive some people are to digitized versions of Muppet stuff that is otherwise unavailable to the public. For some reason it's perfectly fine for people to copy and trade tapes left and right, but god forbid it be traded via computer to computer."
If you look at Scarecroe's post again, you'll see that his beef was with downloading episodes that ARE readily available for purchase. Both of the episodes mentioned, Elton John and Star Wars, do fit into that category. In fact, when it comes to downloadable stuff, I've never seen odd episodes like Kaye Ballard. The ones that people download for others are always the Time-Life shows, and that's the sad part.
