upstate new york, usa, near state capital of albany...
i love this site too, and am very glad the problems have been resolved, and i
could rebuild "my shows"!
btw, on american tv, we now average 20 minutes per hour of god-damned
commercials!!!! it is so excessive that they are driving millions of us to
bittorrent sites like this one so we can actually follow the stories on our
shows -- lol -- (and cable networks are no better!!)!!!!!!
and the cable systems -- those very cable systems are the largest advertisers on
their own cable systems -- if their services are so very good, why might that be?
it isn't as though they actually have any competition -- they are a legalized
monopoly!! and satellite isn't any real competition; the cable companies have
personally authored the communications laws in the usa making it (at first)
illegal, then prohibitively expensive for satellite systems or other utilities
to offer reasonable quality high-speed internet services!
the signal quality on nearly all of the usa-based cable systems is laughable!
there are also huge downtime and brownout percentages!! broadband internet in
the usa is a joke on all americans too -- at best, our "generous" [not!!!] cable
system providers allow us to get an advertised 5mb/s download and 2 mb/s upload
-- all for the paltry sum of @$50-$80 per month; that signal rating is patently
false. as a retired (medically) former mcse, i have long had access to real
signal testing and speed rating software from independent 3rd parties, and these
3rd party programs have consistently proven that the "rated speed" is often 2 or
2.5 times what the best effective speed actually is. in the uk, for instance,
that kind of service would very swiftly land the provider in receivership; here
in the "good 'ol usa", we allow these ass-monkeys complete control of their
business's regulation -- "for the good of the public".
about this subject, at least, most americans are one of two things: 1)
illiterate and totally ignorant of the real facts about the criminal way they
are being treated as peasants by the local dukes and lords; -or- 2) s - t - u -
p - i - d [read: "knows better, but allows this to continue anyway"]!
for me, at least, this is the best way to fight back. however, a great many
more people need to join the "quiet revolution" in order to bring some sanity
back to telecommunications policy in the usa.
joining and supporting real agents for consumer-friendly change such as the
"electronic frontier foundation" (http://www.eff.org)
is a start. i urge any
usa citizens/denizens reading this to do so immediately, and use this posting's
content freely to convince anyone you know that agrees to do so as well!
"help me, obiwan, you're our any hope..."

per capita aussies are the most prolific downloaders of tv shows. the uk runs
second .... like the ashes ... lol. ( or so i saw reported recently )
we ( aussies ) are experiancing a "stiring" of the laws regarding media ownership.
soon i envisage a day when tv shows ( and movies) will air on the same day
globally. we will have a ton of channels to choose from all loaded with crap
advertising. that will slow piracy a little.
still those days are years away.
