A wolf, or a dingo are wild dogs. The offspring of an abandoned poodle is likely to be feral, not wild.

And make it world wide availability, in any region, DRM free, becasue it will end up getting pirated widely where it cant be bought legitimately.
Pay TV: Im not going to PAY for TV aand have to watch Ads. If they want my eyeballs on an ad, the content had better be free.

The other issue is consistency, sometimes you can use voice in the menus, sometimes you can't, and it seems unable to understand my kids at all, which is very frustrating for them.
And one in the games there are different ways to select menu items etc. if there was a standard API of gursturs that woul make more sense. The kinnect gets much less use than I expected by the kids.

I like what Charlie Stross says about piracy on his ebooks. I paraphrase as I dont have the actual quote handy "I'd rather the book be pirated and read by millions rather than die unread behind a paywall"
He has also said for every book he gives away, it generate sales of that book, and all his other books many times over.

It would be, it it was available outside the USA. Yes I know about VPNs etc, but it really is just easier to download the whole damn file.

I download illegal copies of a lot of movies, but this month alone I have gone to the cinema to see MIB 3, the Lorax, Avengers and will go to see Prometheus next week when it comes out. For me and my Family, thats over $160 gone into the movie market, becasue that is a service I dont mind paying for. I'd also buy DRM free movies if they were sold here (or at all), but then I would have to go to the movies less. My money supply is not bottomless, but is finite. If I spend $30 on a download in iTunes, thats one less movie I will take the family to at the cinema.

Exactly, under Fair Use, I am allowed to rip copies of my own DVDs for personal use. I can then store that file where ever the hell I want to. How is someone going to tell my personal use RIP from an identical copy on TPB, or on MegaUpload once the Feds get through with it. However as child porn possesion is illegal, I could be in the shit if found in my possession, where I ripped it from a DVD I won or not 8)

The only hard thing about cutting the cord is finding legal content. However, how come all the power of Hollywood can't workout how to make a buck selling a service like "TVShows" and Plex all bundled together?
How do I get a new show now? I hear some buzz on a social network about an upcoming show, so I just subscribe to it on TVShows. It appears when ready and is downloaded automatically. Plex server then indexes it and it shows up in my unwatched or recent items in Plex frontent (on my phone, on my ipad, on my mac media centre, on my widows laptop etc), which I can then watch on just about any screen I own, anywhere on the planet where I can find the bandwidth.

Because if the way the torrents work, its not a huge internaltional load, because there are so many local peers. I would pay for this service if it was legal, and I could keep using whatever players I like, not having to use a prescribed TV box, or only a certain OS or tablet, in a certain country.

My moral standing: Its not theft if they won't sell it to you 8) as they arent loosing a sale.
They wont provide the content I want, in my region, DRM free to work with my existing equipment, and now seem to have even less intention of doing so? Long live The Pirate Bay!

Just like it was easier to assassinate a Saudi citizen in Pakistan and dump his body at sea than go throught the messy business of extradition and trial?

But did they have to come after him with guns, helicopters, and dogs? There was no suggestion he was a mobster, no drugs, but they took him and his family down like terrorists. Think they were trying to send a message?

America hasn't been the land of the free since the Spanish arrived.

1: use encrypted peers
2: use a block list to avoid contacting known tainted peers.
3: if the torrents go down, resume downloading via usenet binary forums
4: continual attacks on the open Internet will just drive it into a new darknet.
The signal wants to be free 8)
And I 100% agree with the oatmeal. If they would sell it to me DRM free, I'd buy it.

Except when does malfucntion and cause a crash, baring negligent maintenance, who is responsible?

You wouldnt need parking in may places, the cars could just go somewhere else to park on their own, and already know where a free space is opening up by communicating with a city wide parking management system.
