We have FM sourced stuff which is obviously copyrighted, and then there are proshot DVDs shared here that were captured off TV which are also copyrighted.

The user of FM has no contract with the radio station. When you subscribe to XM you sign a contract that forbids you from sharing stuff. So it is in no way anything like FM.
