I got hassled several years ago from MGM myself regarding my downloads of Stargate SG-1. My response was very similar, only I also stated that I had been ordering the DVDs from the UK and still got the episodes before Channel 7 got their act together to start screening them. I added to the e-mail a photo of my Stargate SG-1 DVD collection, stating that my DVD collection was ahead of what had been screened in Australia. I also made similar comments to the likes of "Stargate is screened free to air in Australia, what difference does it make how I obtain my free viewing, if my my purchasing of the DVDs gets me to watch the episodes months, even over a year before it gets broadcast free anyway?"

I then installed a mod to my torrent client called Safe Peer which doesn't allow particular IPs from seeing my collection. I haven't been hassled since.
