Did you know that anything aired in the open TV can be legally copied according to the laws of some countries? Brazil is one of these countries, so anything that was already aired in open TV (even it it was not a brazilian open tv) can be freely downloaded from the net and is perfectly legal (at least if you live in Brazil and some other countries)
Two points about this. First, they are talkign about watching episodes before they've been broadcast. You can do that obviously if you can find it somewhere on the net, but I'm not sure it's legal even in Brazil. I've never heard of anyone gettign in trouble for watching shows off the net after they've been broadcast. Although these days with dvd sales it might be something they'd crack down on.

Second, you might want to make certain that that law applies to shows that are only available on cable television. BG is on Scifi which is a cable only network. It's not broadcast over the air, so the law may not apply.
