In practical terms for most people most of the time this is going to be a purely moral question; you're not going to face any consequences so it's just down to what you consider legitimate.

Legally, "owning" an episode of a TV show on Playstation Network (to take the current example) doesn't give you any right to download a copy from elsewhere. Same for owning (this time in a more real sense) a copy on disc. Maybe you could make a fair use argument fly; I'm skeptical.
