TV Programs and Movies retain copyrights, they get money from the VHS 
sales of blank tapes to offset those losses..  The fact that people copy 
the programs does not make it any more legal..

Fair use would likely extend to such an instance..

Again, fair use would have to be adjudicated..  It might well be 
different if I print out a web page for my own use as a reference 
material than if I did the same for display.

bearing on the legality of the act.
