 | | | Re: meh said by glinc:never understood why people take the risk to go to public sites and having a much higher chance of getting caught. Private sites is the way to go. I agree. Probably because it's so easy, and the people that do aren't thinking all that much. It's kind of comical to see this Keystone Cop type of approach of prevention. A decade of this sh*t and the entertainment industry still hasn't found a way to grasp the web rather than fighting it.

2 edits | Re: meh No kidding! If the entertainment industry would stop trying to keep me from buying content online, they'd make some money! There are so many great, current series I'd pay to watch, like Dexter or Weeds, but those networks refuse to allow them to be purcahsed and viewed online. And they won't let me subscribe *only* to their channels - I have to pay like $90/mo for a bunch of other junk.
I'll just wait until I get them for "free" on Netflix next year. | |

1 edit | Re: meh Being that I don't even know where you claimed to get that content, and it isn't available through HBO, or Comcast's Fancast junk, I'd like to verify if they even have current episodes. Dexter is only up to Season 3 - yay, I got that on Netflix months ago. What about the current episodes???
Maybe you are some god that can summons the content you want at the twitch of a finger, but I've been looking all over for this stuff and never found it. Link please. Oh, and fuck you. | |

kudos:2 | Re: meh I didn't "get" the content. I have no desire to watch either of those shows. I merely executed a quick search in iTunes and both of the shows popped up as available, either individual episodes, or whole seasons. Since both Dexter and Weeds appear to be Showtime's content, I don't imagine that they would show up through HBO.
Oh, and thanks for arguing your point in a mature manner  | |

BTW, all the content you found on iTunes is outdated - current shows are not provided, thus my point still stands. | |

Gainesville, GA | Re: meh yeah but netflix doesnt charge you by the episode!
if i had to pay 3$ for every episode of every show i watched on netflix (and yes, you can cap them so dont even try to bring that up) i would be running 400$ monthly bills, which means, i wouldnt be using the service, just like im not touching ifail and the rest. | |

Dallas, TX | NBC is shooting themselves in the foot by restricting or delaying Olympic content. While they may stop the streaming of it on websites, they haven't been able to stop it from being traded over BitTorrent. And some are resorting to that in order to see some of it that NBC is blocking or delaying on the official sources.
