Speaking along those lines, I assume that the MPAA doesn't represent the makers of television programming.. but is there an equivalent organization that does?
Ya know, you'd think some entrepreneur in the industry would capitalize on the fact that people like to download things. I would so prefer to pay to download a particular TV show (without commercials!) and watch it when/how/where I want, as opposed to the current system used for broadcast TV.

I wouldn't be surprised if the MPA were interested in that as well. AFAIK many TV stations have the same parent companies.

Not alot of people lose money from stolen movies, people STILL see them in the theatres. Even though I "steal" movies off the net, I still buy DVDs. But, damn, maybe the moviemakers should try to make better movies, instead of money off of movies that suck.

Um, I was quoting the MPAA
However, there IS a pretty clear path to find you if they can get the courts to order people to hand over the information. I guess it's time for everyone to start using proxies. Not that those will provide complete obscurity, but it's better than nothing. Problem is, it slows the connection.
