busted for torrents.... seriously?

Can't have another Wisdom Teeth thread. That was hilarious.

 

damn, too many responses to get to each one at the moment. just to clarify, i am willing to pay for copyrighted material. I love Deadwood. i could easily downloaded all of them but i chose to buy teh complete series instead. another example is entourage. i love taht show but i hate HBO and refuse to pay for it since all they show is old shit movies nobody wants to see. so during the season i download them and watch them. then when tehy come out on dvd i buy the season. i have all of them so far. so the show gets their money and so does hbo, just not in the form of a monthly rip off bill. same thing with all the adult swim shows. i have all the seasons of all my favorite shows. i like collecting dvd's. i also have all the seasons of the office and 30 rock, which are NBC shows. i paid for them fair and square. but i also downloaded a few episodes a while back when i missed them one night. so what? its not like its keeping me from buying the dvd's. nobody is losing their job because of what i'm doing. nobody. either way busting someone for downloading a show that is broadcast free anyway is just stupid. hulu is not an option since i watch this stuff at work when i have time and our firewalls block that kind of stuff.

 

Thats how I am at work. I got around it by opening up all the windows and letting them load on my computer before I went to work. Once I got to work, I open my laptop and watch away!

 

you're probably right. not sure if i will stop or not, but you're right about it being the best course of action
