According to some of the arguments given today regarding filesharing, the 
very recording of an artword is an infringement.  Especially if you use the 
recording to allow other to view it at another time.  And my comments regarded the 
recording and skipping over commercials which negates their purpose and thus 
hurts the people that work on those products the same way that reading copied 
comics (Groo, for instance) hurts the comic creators (such as Sergio and M.E.).
If the photocopying of art work is illegal, then is it not the same for 
recording a program?
