I download BSG & JLU since I don't have cable.

Call me a pirate if you must! Yar!

So you won't pay for cable but have a good enough internet connection to steal shows from there. Bravo - you are teh winnar.

I fully plan on it. I always buy DVD sets to shows I support. I just had to SEE it first.

Then rent it. It's not like video rental places are hard to find.

And we all know what happens to pirates in the end, no?

Given the track record of the original poster, yelling at him is not surprising. I seriously doubt that he plans on spending $ on anything that he can get his hands on for free. I'd yell at him too, if others hadn't already called him out on it.

Exuse me? My track record? What Track record? When have I ever promoted outright blatant piracy without supporting the show you enjoy?

Hell, do you know how many times I've reported IRC Networks that were pirating D&D books?

That is seriously something moronic to say, something I didnt expect above all people, from you Cthulhu's Librarian. Now I really know what you think of me.

And for the record, I dont have Cable TV currently and from all the hype Firefly receives on this board and elsewhere I wanted to check it out for myself. Trust me. I fully intend to buy a DVD set of Firefly. Cause I know, of all people, that showing financial support for a TV show in DVD sales, or via grassroots movement, actually WORKS to get it back on TV.

Or did you forget that I'm a Broadcasting Management Major who just happens to hate when good shows get cut off early.

Seriously man. I expect it from certain other people, but not from you. I guess you've shown your true colors, thanks!

Cable Internet is about 50 bucks, Cable TV on top of that is another 50.

100$ a month can be pretty tough to afford. I cant even buy all the latest D&D books everymonth and for the last 3 months I was behind on all my bills.

Before I buy something I try to gauge carefully if its worth it before I run out and buy it. Firefly is worth it and I WILL be buying it.

And no, I refuse to give blockbuster any more of my damned money.

We walk the yardarm? Yar matey!

Never thank the heavens...

Actually I'm an athiest, its just a term hard to drop. Cant think of what i can replace the word god with in that phrase.

So you steal. I think we all understand now. Make up all the excuses you want - it's still called theft.

 

[BrooklynKnight]

It does make a difference. You know it and I know and, I'm sure, Brooklynknight knows it.

Uh, none?

I dont know how much you know or think about the media industry but I'll tell you right now. They're no diffrent then the Oil or Drug industry.

The Bottom Line is the most important thing.

Advertising revanue, ticket sales, DVD sales, etc.

As long as they get my money in the long run. Thats all they care about.

And its been defined a million times in other places on this forum. Downloading something can never be theft. Its a misnomer. Though thats not the point here.

The point of this thread was to discuss a kickass show, not piracy. I've already said I fully intend to purchase the DVD the first chance I get, Firefly is definatly worth my money. A hell of a lot more worthy to buy directly then toss away into machines like blockbuster..

So either talk about this show, or dont post.
