I can hear the networks screaming "but then we can't make you watch the advertising!"

"Precisely."

I feel guilty when I download it via torrent , cuz how are these cable companies gonna pay for the shows then ??

no views ===> no commercials ===> no money.

They probably hate my DVR too. I fast forward through all the shit. They can insert the ads, but they don't get my eyeballs.

As to how they're going to pay for shows - I sure as fuck don't pay them over a hundred bucks a month for the advertising content. Their business model may dictate that they need to sell advertising - but they're not ever going to force me to watch it.

Oh - and the networks who don't allow fast-forwarding through on-demand programming, even through portions that have already been watched, fuck you, you don't get my eyeballs at all. I'm looking at you, Fox. The first time you prevented me from fast forwarding through shit I had already watched when my remote went nuts and rewound too far, well, that's when you lost my eyeballs.
