I usually use a short phrase. That helps mitigate ambiguity, and it doesn't have to be anything terribly complex - fixed expressions or other common phrases work just fine. I know what you mean about "feeling"; it's one of the common problems of translation, but since I always know exactly what I mean when I pick a phrase to translate, it's not too difficult to remember which translation I decided on.

Except that Viacom already provides a lot of that programming online for free, and what Viacom doesn't provide can easily be found through less-official sources - a fact which TWC has been gleefully pointing out for the past day or so. TWC can live without Viacom's content by charging more for access to bandwidth, which can in turn be used to access the content. Viacom, OTOH, doesn't get nearly as much revenue from online eyeballs as it does from eyeballs watching the TV. Their choices are to start charging the end user for viewing online content (good luck with that) or to take a big hit in their revenue stream when TWC is no longer paying them to carry their channels.

My bedroom is messy, but my office is tidy. The only thing hanging on my wall in either location is a clock. My room contains art supplies, movie tickets, travel memorabilia, laundry baskets, and a calendar. It is well-lit and not at all colorful, but contains neither flags nor sports emblems. Does this make me a centrist, or a schizophrenic?
