What the F.
People watch shows, record them, put them in torrents, others DL them and watch them, what’s pirate about that!

These stations put the next day their episodes on the net.

Currently I own 308 BR-RW’s loaded with movies and shows.

You gotta love Screeners :) Oh that’s pirating, who cares :)

Long Life my Philips BR-RW :)

@ glottis8 & urboy

Having the file from a torrent lets you watch commercial free anytime, anywhere on whatever device you want.

Not in the US, no problem.

Going somewhere without internet, no problem.

Don’t want to waste time watching commercials for stuff you’re not gonna buy, no problem.

I watch 8 out of ten of these on tv now because I downloaded the earlier episodes. I just got caught up on lost and 24. I don’t like them enough to purchase or rent them and don’t like to start watching a show unless its from the beginning. Is hulu compatible was windows media center?
I don’t care to watch them on my pc so that’s why I download.

so going off those numbers there has been a total of 6,975,000 torrent downloads last week (in the top 10 that is, I personally think it is much larger than that). That’s a lot of folk to track down and arrest. Or maybe just grab them, sit them in a room and make them watch the ads they missed, would only take an hour or so. Then, everyone’s happy!

^^^The ‘New’Skins is Great, But completely Different to the first 2 Series. Only a couple of Original cast.

1st few episodes have been Hilarious although extremly unbelievable.

By: JD

JD — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 09:00:55 +0000

The last two series of Skins were amazing, I’m not too sure on the new ones with a whole new cast and all, has potential tho.

OOohh theres a new Heroes out..woo TPB here I come :)

I download tv shows every day, I have a huge collection of shows so when I travel I can catch up on some shows I don’t watch on a regular basis or want to watch later on in the year.

I can assure you these statistics are garbage. I have no idea where they come from but for one the list is wrong and for two the amount of downloaders is much much much higher than that.

my taste is too fringe-y, I guess. Burn Notice, Monk, psych, to name a few that ain’t been mentioned here, plus some Brit stuff. Not that I expect any of it to make the above lits.

even if the studios released their own torrents, within an hour someone else would have a torrent up with the commercials chopped out. Life is too short to watch commercials!

House and Lost are both excellent shows. I used to watch Heroes but stopped after season 2. Fringe is all right, the rest I’m not really familiar with.

Being sued for downloading a TV show would be epicly retarded..

not saying it cant happen or wont happen.. but you would almost have to ask the lawyers like wtf is wrong with you..

Worst thing they could be upset about is the fact that torrented tv shows dont have commercials..

which they could EASILY F*CKING FIX in 2 seconds by making there own release. Sure not everyone is going to download it.. but its BETTER THEN F*CKING NOTHING which is what they do now.

Yer downloading from websites that host the files is so safe, NOT. Those websites are ran by people like the MPAA, RIAA. And lost is shit. The first 2 seasons where ok. After that it just started becoming more and more bull shit and “as if”.

except for smallville i can get all those tv shows from tvload.us without risk of getting sued by the mpaa or something for distributing copyrighted material.

Dude just because someone doesnt like lost doesnt mean there an idiot, the show has gone to complete crap.

I was addicted to like the first season or 2 and then that shit just gets really freaking retarded.

I hate shows that draw out every single thing to be this big dramatic crap and give you NO answers ever and commercial break every 5 seconds.

Its hard enough to keep up with my own life, let alone all those people on that island, way too much to keep up with.. which is probly why i dont like shows like Galactica..
