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!

Don't the tv shows air at a different time there?
Like SG-1 is running in the UK but I can't d/l eps from iTunes until they air here. Probably an advertising thing.

The movie doesn't make any sense to me though.

Yeah, I saw that too when I was looking at buying the next season of NCIS, that I'd get a free episode, but...yes, it's only for people in America. Bastards.

Ya know, I just took a glimpse of SPN tonight, and I realized that Jared Padaleki sounds and looks really awesome being evil! And I'm like, why does it have to be on when Grey's Anatomy is on? I don't have tivo or the capability to record..so...yeah. I should watch SPN from the beginning, cuz I haven't. And also, about Litte Miss Sunshine, IT'S PERFECTION! If not for Paul Dano and Steve Carell...my life would be dull:) Hope you get to download it soon:)

No way! That's not right. I don't understand why you can't download it. Does iTunes have it? You can watch it on your computer even if you don't have a video iPod. I know they have SGA and SG-1.

Tell me allllll about it!

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...
