Someday . . .

. . . we'll be able to watch almost any episode of any TV series on the Internet. Oh, my. Edit: Yeah, I know about "torrent" and the other outright theft sites, but I don't use them. I felt guilty early on about using Napster and then Kazaa. Now, I refuse to get involved in that peer-to-peer stuff. This post was simply a quasi-funny way of linking to a site that allows for quick and easy viewing of past shows. Yep, it probably is hosting them illegally, but it's a far cry from peer-to-peer file swapping. Sheesh, maybe I am getting old and cranky.

1. I'm going to guess that that has to be illegal.

2. Where's "Perfect Strangers." Every show except for "Perfect Strangers."

Once again the self-proclaimed "geek" hasn't heard of torrents. Any TV show or movie you'd ever want. And a lot you don't

And I'm sure you get all the required written permissions to use those Fox News screenshots on your blog.

Wait... You felt guilty about the two worst vectors for virii and spyware? But I bet you used them anyway. Naughty, naughty. What is even more amusing I bet you downloaded some hot hot beats like Britney Spears or Mandy Moore. bwahahahah

I didn't see Slam Bang Theater (hosted by Icky Twerp, with assistance from Ajax, Mergatroid and Delphinium).

How is this different from peer to peer or torrents? Do you think that allofmp3.com is "different" from peer to peer sharing?

1. these are almost certainly illegal.

2. i do not see any relevant difference between this and torrents (or peer to peer).

3. however, this does appear to be slightly different from kazaa and other illegal mp3 sites from the perspective that a lot of these shows are probably not available anywhere else (on DVD, for example), so in the case of those shows, the owners are not really losing money because they do not currently have a competing product in the market. This distinction probably doesn't have much (if any) legal significance, but it probably does have ethical and moral relevance for those who might have certain qualms against things such as "piracy" or "stealing".
