the cable companies suck even more
I think the cable companies are set in the delivery system that they have in place but really should just go completely digital and menu driven rather than schedule driven. Wait a darn minute the companies have been mandated to be digital, Canada and the USA.
So now what?
They big cable firms and others in the industry who want illegal downloads to stop will probably have their way and the sites offering torrents will one by one at the least offer P2P view only or at worst simply shut it's site as happened a few days ago with BTJunkie.
On one hand I understand the producers POV on the other I know this is a reaction by the industry to what they perceive as a drain on profit. I think if looked at from the sidelines we'd find that torrent and P2P sites have given back to the industry probably more than it has ever taken. This is more an accounting exercise rather than a moral argument and as is habit an accountant can be easily confused by interupting a calculation with the interjection of the real world outside their box.
The model simply put is one of looking at how many sales of dvd and cd's have been lost and they want to keep what is rightfully theirs and I agree pure piracy should be punished as a fraud of the highest or lowest order.
By this I mean the re-production of cd's and dvd's in hard copy.
The on line experience is a bit different in that it does not intimate a sale of a hard copy but is only a viewing. But of course it is not just a viewing.
Bits of the program will seed from your computer to others so in a grey foggy sense you are sharing but not soliciting the product and not gaining any profit from the transaction but the use of the product it's self.
The entertainment industry has never had such a cheap marketing vehicle that has been so under utilized but it is viewed as something salacious that wants to take away all the money.
O wait a minute, I mentioned that cable should go menu driven and what do I see Time Warner offering their clients? The newest and best tv experience ever! EVO or maybe EXO what does this package include well kids you can get netflix, yes you don't need a computer or game box to watch netflix anymore you can do it with your cable box.
What person would pay 45 dollars to watch a product which costs 8 dollars?
I have had it with cable this week it gets cancelled!
I will continue paying for an ISP and purchase netflix which BTW works a thousand times better than the shite the cable company provides as VOD. I have looked at the VOD selections available and even the porn is shite.
Bye bye Shaw.
