I had forgotten that being a have-not entitles one to become an I-will-take.I'm Australian, so let me explain my POV. I'm a big fan of 24, have been since Series 5. I've already seen the first two episodes of the new series in beautiful, glorious HD and loved them! Now, no true fan is going to wait more than 6 days until 12 May to watch the show!! Especially since I can download it in better quality, without commercials or channel logo. Same thing with Doctor Who - no fan of the series is going to wait an extra week to see it in standard definition when they can download it in HD beforehand.
Look, we aren't talking about food for a starving child, or meds for a desperately ill loved one. Films and music are not necessities, you've got no business contributing to their theft.

The Australian Networks identified this problem years ago, and they've still done little to address it. Why should I wait for a lower quality product and not be able to partake in internet discussions on the series because I'm a whole week behind??

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
