Why isn't it? Are you hung up about the method of procurement?

Is skipping the commercials on a DVR recording of a broadcasted television show morally/ethically/legally equal to downloading a commercial free version of that same DVR recording from a torrent site? Keep in mind that the two DVR recordings might or might not be the same copy.

You can try to justify skipping commercials all you want but it is piracy. Maybe not as clear cut as neglecting to send monies to the creator, since there is only the vague theoretical notion that monies will be sent to the creator upon viewing the commercials that you decided to skip.
