    If I tune into an NFL game using an OTA antenna, then turn off my TV during commercials and turn it back on for the game, would that be piracy?

        The measurement of the act doesn’t change the act.

        I think the difference is websites have a terms of service they expect you to follow. If you have an account you have agreed to that. TV doesn’t.

      I would say no, because that’s broadcast in real time to everybody, literally over the air. YouTube is on-demand. Just because they’re both video formats doesn’t make them fully comparable.

      I think a more apt real-life comparison would be to video rental stores; for a small cost, you have the right to view the video for a short time. But you’re still not supposed to just take videos without paying for them, even if you’re bringing them back and not making copies to share.
