It’s not about the Lost series,

RTFA ffs

BTW, I pirate, a lot, but I don’t really care or try to justify my actions with inane arguments. I simply grab things online and that is all.

What’s this? Yet another mongoloid backing up the filesharing = VCR analogy by demonstrating it cannot be argued with?

Why thanks, you shouldn’t have. :)

And thats why you fail miserably. How dumb do u have to be to not know the difference.

Actually, you won’t argue with my point because you can’t argue with my point.

Logic 1, you 0.

But since I’m not above laughing at mongoloids; thanks for the comedy. :D

Simon:“Hmmm… the BBC is funded by UK Taxpayers. It’s not your typical corner of the television industry, so your analogy is flawed.”

The analogy wasn’t about the BBC specifically, but the television industry in general.

Marak: “Wouldnt you agree that recording the video stream, and downloading the video stream are both a very fine line to be walking in an argumentative stance?”

I’d say recording the videostream and downloading the videostream are both the same thing, for all intents and purposes, and that it’s absurd for filesharing a TV show to be illegal when recording it on a VCR isn’t.

So… Uh… I’m not sure where we’re disagreeing? Heh.

Tom: “No, because you record the paid ads with the show. So you’re still exposed to the advertising.”

I edit out the paid ads, as do alot of others. Also, some DVRs cut out the ads automatically. Remember when the MPAA tried to sue Tivo? And what about when people record a movie from some cable station that shows them without any commercial inturruptions?

That, and the fact that being exposed to an ad doesn’t mean somebody is going to just rush out and buy something. The only difference between watching an episode of something and ignoring the commercials, and downloading an ad-free episode of something off P2P, is that in the latter case I won’t be annoyed by pointless commercials for things I’m never going to buy, or for things I already buy anyway.

When your owned, your owned, dont try to make up excuses and pathetic comebacks.

Stfu and hit yourself in the face again for being as weak as you are.

What exactly DO you think is about P2P or bittorrent? Have you not realized yet that this site offers a little more content on whats going on around the world? Are you really that close minded?

The content here obviously doesn’t meet your requirements.. so guess what the next move is dumbass? See that X in the top right of the screen?

Regarding the comments of others and some retarded responses: Pointing out that something is de facto illegal by law, doesn’t mean the person pointing this out agrees with these laws. Some people here are too trigger-happy to drop all logic and little bit of brains left just to get their damn files for free. A true pirate is like a gentleman: He enjoys and keeps his mouth shut.

No, because you record the paid ads with the show. So you’re still exposed to the advertising. And in the case of the BBC, you still have to pay a TV licence. So actually, the people who make the show still get paid. Which is the final measure of a working system.
As long as the people making the product get paid for the work they do, nothing else should matter.

Yes, there are valid arguments for voluntary donation from rather than charging for shows, but this is a terrible argument for torrenting being legal.
