Yes, I know that Apple is doing something like this already for the "rich" stupid people. They even throw in hard ware (nothing new about that, when it comes to Apple). P.S.S.

I've been using torrents for quite some time for a variety of media. Many friends and acquaintances have asked me how to get what I get. I offer to show them. Soon it becomes apparent that they either don't want to put in the time to learn how to do it("do you really have to do all that?"), can't grasp the basics ("can't I just download it and play it in one click?") or are in fear of the man ("won't I get caught?"). Yes, for us privileged few (millions)who have inquiring minds and a thirst to know how to get and use this stuff we will continue to enjoy the fruits. The rest (billions) will pay for it. Ultimately it's about convenience Executives fear not, there are plenty of the general populous (stupid people) who will continue to shell out cold hard cash for their productions. I know the day will come when some smartass will say to the Executives lets start out by renting out FTP servers and sell subscriptions to DL old TV shows in high quality video that can be watched on any type of player that the subscriber owns, we'll sell them a "one click" style software suite to maipulate the DL'd content(choose a format menu: ipod,DVD,PC,HD/BlueRay, etc.) and as we make money we'll start offering more current content at a premium. Some idiot Executive (probably the one who canceled Firefly) will say "but won't they just make copies and pirate the content?" and the smartass will say "the people who pay for this stuff don't have the time to learn how to do that, can't grasp the basics of copying and format changing, or they are worried they'll get caught. Those who do know what to do, won't be subscribers because they can get it for free anyway" P.S. my personal experience in trying to show people how to get the stuff they want has dropout ratio of 10 to 1. It's probably higher but I gave up teaching people how to do it. It's been a painful and futile teaching process. Cheers, I'm thirsty for a beer now.... I love reading about this dilemma.

And the world hasn't even ended yet. For people living in Aus, torrents or filesharing sites are the only way to see some shows. Most stuff doesn't come on telly. And torrenting can be good. I randomly download music, games, shows etc and if I like it I then go buy the limited/directors etc editions. And the amount of people that start watching after seeing a show from a torrent... 10 million is a fairly low estimate... A tv exec that sees the value of torrents?

I tried to spin this idea a year or so ago that would generate some form of revenue from adds, and I was laughed at. Anyway, where's my movie check?! It's about time I moved on! I find it funny.

Do I need to remind u which ppl are considered "pirates" in the world of computers...? At least the guy that was taking the interview should have corrected the co-producer/co-writer on using another word instead...

We all know we are doing wrong really but hey if your as bored as hell cannot be bothered to go and rent whatever it is you like... Then hey your going to download it! We shouldn't do we know that.. But until the technology is out there we are going to carry on. 90% of what most of us download is rubbish we download it for the sake of it.. But if you really want something and its really worth it 90% of us really go out and purchase what ever it is. The only thing that i think should be (should) available is soaps and stuff what is on every week. I think most of what the Limeys get now thet get the first sample of it via a download of some description.. Regards all Hey lets get real here..

Be it via Rapidshare or any other form. But when I pass by a store and see a game that I have liked so much, I buy it. I dont give a damn abt downloading stuff, and I most certainly dont mind buying stuff either.. What Im trying to say is, if these shows are available to stream online after paying or subscribing, wouldnt it be great? I bet a lot of ppl would do it. I wud! However,I dont think it is possible, my knowledge of these things being limited. The future of TV is undoubtedly within the Internet as well..its time they make use of it.

As usual, you're grasping at straws here. Just keep downloading in the dark, that way it will stay free for all! One down, still hundreds of thousands to go (including the people who MATTER).
