Yes it does. It ain't legal, but it exists all over the place. And if the industry would get it's collective heads out of it's collective asses (Or the ass in front of it) it would wake up and realize that people would pay a LOT of money for a legal Pirate Bay. And in actuality, a lot of them are. Secure VPNs and seedboxes ain't free.

wget is still broken too... Bastards.

Yes, "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:" is hard...

Lol! I was thinking the same thing. Last time I was at a friend's who has it we spent 10 minutes not finding anything to watch.

And yet, somehow the networks still don't get it... Look at the international release delays, among other things...

We got there a long time ago. Content companies are still figuring it out.

It is also about watching whatever you want, whenever you want. Not just Thursdays at 9:00... People no longer want to schedule their lives around the broadcast schedule.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world; Those that know binary and those that don't.

And the marketing idiots that came up with that crap are firmly in the "don't" group!

Also look at the father of pfSense, m0n0wall. Leaner, so it can run on lighter hardware.

It could... The free market gave is Bell Labs and Xerox PARC. But it required an openness and lack of government regulation that is missing today. Bell Labs was only well funded when Bell was a monoply. TANSTAAFL

Prvate funding is more risk averse, and more short term than public... In today's business climate, long term thinking is the quarter after next.

Not just research... EVERYTHING is totally risk averse. This is why every new song sounds and looks the same. Why we keep getting remakes, reboots, and blatent copies of the same old story over and over in the movies. There is a "patch" for this with the indie film community and the indie music scene. An indie research community would be cool, but they keep arresting people trying to do basic chemistry at home. http://io9.com/5119166/teen-wi...

Different link. Remicks vs re-micks... In other words, they had it in more than one place. A little harder to fight wilful infringement when you have not really taken it down. :)

Not to mention that Disney is so big it does not know what it is doing... For example,
This is blocked.
http://video.disney.com/watch/...
This works...
http://video.disney.com/watch/...
Sound like wilful infringement to me...

Which is what the guy asking the question is trying to do...
