If you wanna think so, I see no problem in that.
However I really think that Applian has a great line of unmatched software products.

There are channels and programs in the states that carry the same or similar quality as being supported by government taxes, although understandably less so than the rest of the world. For example, it is legal to record a high school football game, or even a program supported by the US government like an Army ad or all of Fox News (kidding).

How can users distinguish between copyrighted and non-copyrighted TV shows?

You can use a gasoline-powered saw to break the law and to cut trees, it is really up to you. Applian products themself don't break any laws.
You can use
direct sound recording software and
screen video capture software from Applian to record audio from your sound card or record video from your screen. These products really see no difference between recording DRM protected content and DRM-free content. However there are hundreds of other products besides Applian ones that can do the same.
