Why when i can get it for free and if i like it buy it later.
Why pay for that car? I'll steal it now and pay for it later if I like it. Where is it written you are entitled to something for FREE and only pay IF you like it?
Who says i paid for my car? Where is it written that i am not entitled to something for free and pay if i like it? -- The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continuously fearing you will make one.
That would apply to all TV shows that are not on cable (well, back when anything good was on regular networks). You basically saw them for free (OTA), then if you wanted you could buy the VHS/DVD.
Same goes for books to me, you can view it for free at libraries and some bookstores, if you like it you can buy it.
