i've got friends who's ended up with lawsuits and threats from the industry who have used p2p and torrents to swap what you call FREE tv.
the lawsuits come between 10 million - 30 million
right the way down to 40,50 grand in these cases.
GraphiX wrote:when they asked why as the shows we was sharing is free for TV the reply was this.
the industry makes a revenue and living providing shows with so many adverts during the shows
these adverts pays for the costing of the shows to be show to you for free.
GraphiX wrote:downloading and sharing these shows un-officially means the ads are striped out and there is no official stats coming back from the networks involved.
GraphiX wrote:without ads without network stats on shows watched
they then are giving away shows and getting nothing back.GraphiX wrote:ide the point not to mention completely wrong.GraphiX wrote:why do you think they are making it impossible to skip and fast forward commercials on new dvds and tivo? it restricts you from doing this now.
Different issue which I am NOT arguing against.GraphiX wrote:so now you understand your not getting it for free via the airwaves the commercials are paying for it.
No NO it is YOU who does not understand the meaning of free. Free is free. EVERYONE knows that channels beamed in and INTERCEPTED via antenna are free of charge. I can have a party and everyone can watch for free. I can make copies! I can download copies and I can share copies. Fair use. Look it up!GraphiX wrote:via p2p/torrents you are getting what is equiv as the boxsets no adverts no breaks no network statistics
Be more specific. Are you talkin movies, free local shows. WHAT??GraphiX wrote:if you dont understand this then sorry
you must be a child or younger and if thats the case
then its understandable.
u know I was the bigger man and ignored when u first called me a kid. Now ur pushin it.GraphiX wrote:as no adult would possible think they are giving away shows on AIR totally free all the time without them making money on them some how.
that wouldn't explain all the lawsuits and people getting sued if that was the case

Maybe they don't want to, do you like to gamble?
If you log in to the college system with your own user and password it would not be hard to work out who does what.
The potential to cause yourself grief is probably not worth it.
