My Rules of Acquisition
You MAY acquire a copy if:
1. it is not available in your State or Country.
2. the local price, ignoring taxes, is more than 50% higher than the Amazon US Dollar price
3. the TV show is on free-to-air (network) television in a prime time slot, heavily hyped, then shifted to an 11:30pm slot. Either the show is good or the show is crap - make up your mind before wasting my time.
You MUST buy a legitimate copy if
3. You enjoy it to the point of watching it more than once.
4. You recommend the series to your friends and family.
Rules 1 & 2 are about punishing Copyright Holders for being idiots by treating their customers like idiots.
Rule 3 & 4 are about rewarding Copyright Holders for making enjoyable content and showing some respect to their customers.
