TV piracy hits the mainstream

by

Maclean’s has an article about how TV shows are the latest targets of miscreants and pirates on the Interweb. About time they caught up.

I only use my cable for news. I can’t be bothered to keep track of when stuff is on, and I’m almost always at my computer, so with a combo of Bittorrent and RSS, I pull the four shows I regularly watch off the net, and then check them out when I damn well feel like it. If I ever go freelance overseas, I’ll still be able to use the same process to keep up with TV back home.

And if the networks are so concerned, charge me a buck or two to download the shows. I’ll gladly pay that to get the few shows I do want when I want them.
