i use torrentspy for full-season torrents, and eztv for new single episodes. i sometimes search mininova, but torrentspy has always been better. i honestly don't see why they're making such a big fuss over the tv though - tv is free to watch so why should it be so bad for people in the uk to want to see it early? if they're gonna fuck us over by taking months to get shows out over here, they can't expect us not to use a free resource that is available. as for in the us - i'm sure y'all are downloading them so you can rewatch them as much as you like *wink wink* and not for burning them to dvd to avoid buying the originals when they're released *wink wink*. i just don't think should bitch and moan about tv - movies, yes because you pay to watch them - games yes because you pay to buy them - but episodes you don't. people in the uk still pay a tv license regardless of whether they watch it or not. i have sky digital and it's on for one hour a week, 13 weeks a year - doctor who. |

well.. when you say free, you're generalizing and skipping a lot. it wasn't free to make so that's why they're making a big fuss over it. just playing devil's advocate a little here =p |

yeah that was my point. if they were charging for each episode, then i'd understand completely. and i also know theres the cable fees etc, same here. but like i said - i'm still paying tv license and sky one, so the only difference i'm making is 1 less rating outta the millions they're still getting. plus, not everyone has the nielsen box in the us so most people don't even affect the ratings anyway! |

tv isn't "free", guys. the whole point of tv broadcasts on non-specialty cable channels is to subject the viewer to an endless stream of consumer-mentality mind-control... the price you pay to watch the show is this: you're supposed to have to sit through 14 minutes of neuro-linguistic anchors and triggers, basically short hypnotic blurbs which are designed to create compulsions in you to make you want to spend money on things you don't need. and in the end, you're supposed to end up collectively paying them, the advertisers, more money than they spend putting up the budget for the tv show. it's called fascism. and it blows goats. not just goats, but goats with multiple std's. mussolini defined fascism thus: fascism should rightly be called corporatism, as it's a merger of state and corporate power. isn't that precisely what you have in america today? a government so thoroughly entwined with wall st that it's impossible to tell where the head ends and the asshole begins? so fuck em... download and don't subject yourself to the mind control. we get enough of it without the damn commercials. peace |

no one can stop torrents or the sites appearing every which way. it's like trying to stop a river with the casing of a teabag: you might get a little but you won't get a lot. what they stop, morphs and becomes something else which spawns other sites until closing one place brings the birth of many many more. freedom of the masses. aint it beautiful. :) |

the name of the game here is adaptation... although thses sites may become obsolete, there is great opportunity for similar public torrent sites running out of countries with no legislation in relation to net usage to become bigger and fill the void. the best bets are sites in countries such as romania, which being next to italy has access to an excellent cable system or, more likely russia. so, if youre an enterprising site developer in some eastern block shithole country, now is the time to go forth and make your mark on the world of free net content... viva la internet
