Piracy is good

So sayeth this article. It makes some very valid points about how people torrenting shows are actually creating larger potential audiences for advertising It also rightly claims that unlike music and movies, which people are used to paying for, TV has always been more or less free, and no-one's going to reach for their wallet no matter how many torrent sites go down.

I haven't read the article yet, but I agree with its premise so far....mostly because I like downloading some of these shows and one of my favourite sites for doing so was shut down over the past weekend. Bastards!

I just barely grabbed the new episode of Dr. Who last night, thanks to another dedicated phanatique who pointed me in the right direction. He knows who he is, and I'm eternaly grateful. :)
