Probably the most dreaded words on the net. Why?? Why can they not figure out how to make this stuff globally available?
What I'm talking about is something I didn't realise you could do. Purchase digital quality downloads of tv eps from Amazon. They have started offering Supernatural S2 and I got emailed about it and it was JUST TO TAUNT ME WITH SOMETHING I CANNOT HAVE!!!!
Bah! I say bah!
There was all kinds of things. I wanted a download of Little Miss Sunshine but I cannot have it.
Again? Bah!

Speaking from a professional point of view (I AM a librarian!) copyright has a purpose. Ensure that authors recieve just payment for their works.
As a fan - it sucks big time! (sorry, couldn't think of a 'polite' analogy!) I'd love to watch NCIS but in the UK we're waiting until April (if you're lucky). Okay, so we have SG-1 - woooo... I want to see BSG damnit! At the same time as the Americans so I don't have to worry about bloody spoilers!
What gets on my nerves is when the Big Media Companies trumpet that they're making their shows available on iTunes and the like... ONLY IN AMERICA! The Rest Of The World does not matter because they aren't providing advertising revenue etc... *shakes tiny fist of rage*
I (for some bizarre reason - it's a librarian thing, I feel the need to respect copyright!) will happily pay to download tv shows if it means getting good quality stuff that I can watch anywhere I choose (the family are also into NCIS - so watching it on the family TV is a Good Thing) but can I?
Can I hellfire!
In short? Hearing you in FM dude!
I'll get off my (professional and personal)hobbyhorse now...

You know what annoys me... for some reason they picked Jericho here to screen at the same time as the US. Why not Heroes or BSG or something I would actually watch?? And why is this the only show and NOTHING ELSE...
Obviously they have the ability to screen at the same time... they do it with Survivor here aswell... we just get gipped. bah!
