Re: But wait said by BF69:I though lack of availability of content was why people pirated. The last episode is legally available at places like Amazon, Vudu, iTunes etc. so why is there so much piracy? This kind of disproves the point if you make content available people will stop pirating. Could it also be that copies from all of the legal sources are DRM'd and many people are not too fond of paying for something that will come with restrictions? Why doesn't Hollywood drop DRM as music industry finally did a few years ago, it just might work wonders for them.
And yes, I second the availability argument. If people outside of the US can't get it the same time that we do from legal sources, they will pirate it. And it has nothing to do with depriving those who worked on the show of their rightly earned income, rather with wanting to see how it all ends ASAP. IMO, that episode should have been available on iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc. worldwide at the same time it started rolling on TV.

| I agree or make it viewable online first at the same time for everyone in there zip code that would also put more ppl online at a given time for targeted adds aka hulu the tech is there to make a killing and never need to charge more than a subscription fee, when they figure this out it will get better till then its ran by old non tech ppl that don't understand technology and there just going to burry them selves, I see it no differently than recording it on vhs and letting all my friends borrow it. IF MPAA hd there way every person in front of the same tv would have to pay to watch like a theater there all crooks |

Wasn't that one of the concerns with Microsoft's upcoming XBox One (among many others). Allegedly, the required camera that came with it had the capability to detect how many people were in the room. So imagine this, you order a movie or a PPV event, invite some friends over, and right before it is about to start, it refuses to play because it detected 20 people in the room and demands 20x what you originally paid for it.

The new Xbox is so toxic I wouldn't buy one. I'm pretty sure Sony is going to win the console wars for now, no loyalty in the gaming console world. What you said about counting heads could come true??? Who knows??? |

Let's see - "stealing" a TV show about a meth kingpin who poisoned and shot kids is.... immoral? Sounds like Alice's Restaurant. |
