Now, let me just say this, I caught on to MST3K at the tail end of it's run on Sci Fi, and I loved it. I've seen very few episodes, and would love to get ahold of all of them. But….I'm really not trying to get anyone in trouble here,really I'm not, but I can't believe this is legit..so as terribly bad as I'd like to, I cannot bid on this. There is absolutely no way this is legal…right? I have to be right. My conscious tells me I'm right. I'm right, yes? God ,I'd love to see Space Mutiny again.
Kind regards

Not sure if it's legal/illegal but if they're anything like my old VHS recordings of MST3K I wouldn't be inclined to pay good money for them… kind of fuzzy, full of commercials, occasional flashes of the random junk (porn) I recorded over. |

Unless there is some law governing how long a TV recording can be kept, or whether it can be resold, I can't see why there would be a problem. If he was running off multiple copies, then that would be a problem, but since he's not making any more copies, then I can't see why he'd be breaching any copyright laws. |

I believe he can only make copies for his own usage, but he cannot legally transfer them to someone else. Besides, VHS tapes have a limited shelf life… |

I believe there is a 35-DVD set of every episode. Hmmm… looking online I see 75-DVD collections and one that spans 95 DVDs? Yow. I'd kind of like to see them all again, but don't have the time or money. |

Also, you can watch MST3K on Amazon Prime. Probably NetFlix, too … Much cheaper and the IP owners get their $0.99 USD a view (or somesuch). Also, can't follow the link (its me), but the Ed is correct that you can't legally record something off TV and then sell it. |
