QUESTION:
1) Can I go on to the Bilvavi website just for one time, so that I can download all (or most) of the audio shiurim to my computer, if my computer has internet connection? And if I download material from the site does it all become tumah (impurity) since it is coming from the internet, which the Rav calls avi avos hatumah, the “grandfather of impurity”? Which would mean that I can’t use them, since they came to me through an impure source? Do downloaded shiurim become “purified” for use once I disable internet connection from my computer?
ANSWER:
There are different ways for you to receive the shiurim.. [Editor’s Note: In another response, the Rav permits receiving audio shiurim via e-mail or by dialing Kol HaLashon. And in a different response, the Rav gave a ruling that b’dieved (after it already happened), any shiurim downloaded from the Internet may be used.]
