Copyright and Film torrents?

Here's a thought, Say there's a film on TV and I decide to record it on my Media PC and keep it on the Hard Drive for later viewing.

What is the difference between recording it from the TV or downloading a Torrent of the same content?
Apparently it is illegal to download a film but, not so for recording it from a broadcast... what am I missing???

Physics and Stuff

For the last few days we've been playing with the Physics engine 'Bullet', Inside Lightwave... With mixed results.
One of our client's clients videos requires a stack of Tins getting smashed by a vehicle. The brief is to film a real van driving passed a clients business and add the 'Tin Stack' in 'Post' using Lightwave.

While waiting for some nice weather to shoot the video portion we've been running simulations of the 'Tin Stack' and having some problems. Chief of which is getting the Tins to sit still before the collision event.

Currently the only way to do this is having the stack "Start Sleeping" (Anyone using LW will know what this means) The second problem is having the stack collapse correctly and realistically...

This involves: LOTS of Tweaking settings, Various test setups, Running 'Sims' and Coffee!!!

So, Keep an eye on our YouTube channel for Tests, Fails and (Hopefully) Sucess test renders over the next few days... And of course, Keep reading the Blog for updates and insights to "Studio Live" at 3Ative.com.
