I wanted to report an “Important Message” that i got from another torrent i downloaded.

this is basically what it says, with eztv’s logo’s all over it….

EZTV has recently been confronted with numerous lawsuits. In order to finance our legal costs we need your help to collect the necessary funds. That is why from now on we will be password protecting our files. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience, but it is a necessary measure to protect the quality tv-rips we have been releasing for so long.

then it goes to instructions to retreiving the password.

since i cannot report this to eztv, can someone else do it for me?

thanks
Kalla

Just noices this today when I couldn’t reach eztv.nl.

@prerok (late response I know…)
A really positive effect is that networks no longer can do however they want. Nowadays we get to se for example Lost with subs with just a few episodes delay instead of half a year to a years delay. Another example is CSI. In the beginning CSI was sent with up to one and a half years delay. Now where on the same season.

The point is that the networks must to more extent adapt and conform to the consumers instead of consumers beeing at the whim of companys that only has the money as a priority. The consumers got alternate options that puts pressure on companys and that’s just about always good for the consumer.
