dowloading frustration

So, yet another heated discussion in my house about downloading things , such as tv shows, off the internet at my house tonight. Honestly i understand the copyright infringement issue , but i also really don't know what the major companies expect to happen when they don't provide something similar online to offset completely unregulated downloading. I wouldn't mind paying a fee to download an episode or something like that. Really seems like rather than move with the times, our studios refuse to acknowledge the presence of evolving technology , and rather than embrace it, try to ignore and combat what will always be a losing battle. i like the idea of being able to download episodes and seasons while waiting for the official dvd. I'm still gonna buy the official dvd cause i like having the pkging that comes with and all the little extras as well. and also i believe in supporting the things i enjoy. Sadly i guess tho that i will just have to deal with the realities of our incompetent studio owners , who refuse to offer me an online service to enjoy.

annnny way..... that's all i guess. it's late and in the morning i have to go deal with finding all my files on a new computer at work.

FINALLY!! It's good to see you writing again , if only for a day. Good post--who was arguing the issue? I could not figure that one out. I know Mark and Kristy have gone the rounds over this "ripping" issues. I do not have an problem w/ ripping however, I think corps and espically Microsft is much more guilty but EVERYONE lets them off the hook...what the news you travelling soon...?? Love you Dad
