But you haven't gotten it.

Your sky payment helps to pay royalties to the actors and stuff so people who make the show can get paid.

Just like you probably get paid money for doing what you do for your work to pay for the 100 pound sky sub you have.

If the show doesn't bring in ratings to make companies want to pay for ads while the show is on, then it will be canned quickly as again people don't work for free.

Very mature way to post, in the future try and talk instead of cussing.

I do not pay for TV and I don't see why you do. I use Hulu and Netflix. On those two services I can see everything I want to. Yes it sucks waiting, I spend years waiting on anime that never gets localized, I understand that.

However, would you work for free? Would you be willing to work a full time job only to not get your money? Protect you time. Protect your investment, this is what they are doing.

And I once again, use Netflix and Hulu, and I do not watch TV. Everyone downloading Legend of the Seeker is what got it canceled, which is one of the only shows I would watch, now I am stuck with Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. So those downloads killed my favorite show.

I do not vote, and I do not have a political side, nor do I like the way companies do things. But bands make their money on tours, not album sales this I already know.

I am fully against SOPA and PIPA, but I do understand that piracy is a huge issue. And I agree with you about the clowns in charge.

However, people are programed to get what is hip, what is popular, what everyone else has. Hence why teenagers will spend 80 - 200 bucks for pants that look no different then the 20 dollar pants and Wal Mart.

I listen to some of the most underground bands, Lacrimas Profundere, ever heard of them? But the companies foot the bill for getting the advertising, and give them focus, I have known a few bands local to me, and they all lack direction on what they are doing.

Radios play songs by demand, people demand a song, radio plays it. That is how they do it.

Again, I am not for it, just that I understand protecting an investment. And the way to protest is not Hacking the Playstation Network, Banks, Xbox Live, and other things.

I am sad that this is my last bubble though, I finally found someone who would debate rather than scream mindlessly. Nice post, well spoken.

I'll never understand what makes people willing to follow each other either. From a "what's in" standpoint. I make my own decisions based on my likes and dislikes. I base my decisions on all of the information available to me. Not just the info from the last week. People forget too soon and base decisions on things that have nothing to do with the issue.

Radio stations don't play based on demand. The choices are limited from the start. The companies push their artist. In exchange for the best seats at concerts and appearances on stations. And often cash and other gifts. It's used to be called payola. It still goes on. Now there are just fewer people to bribe since a few companies own most of the stations.

As far as providing direction. It shouldn't cost an artist 99% of the money. There are millions of people that could provide that direction. Not as many truly talented artist. And I agree about acting video game networks. Though I hope they rip the banks worse than anyone. I also don't believe in protecting a group that stills millions of dollars from average people and then brides elected officials to make sure they aren't punished for it. Actually the officials set it up so that the crooks can maximize each theft. And then have us replace the money they stole from us.

There is no defending Hollywood and their accounting, music companies and their contracts or banks and investment companies and their pure theft.

MOST were but Anon is targeting music companies to prove their point. Do think in the future, you look like less of a tool.

They are probably attacking music companies because they are some of the biggest people to speak out against piracy. I bet the music companies played a big role in the downfall of megaupload regardless if most users were legit.

music sales have reached new highs because of piracy its free viral advertising i may not buy the bands first album because of pirating but i will buy the 2 3 etc i have discovered so much more music i liked and will buy through that initial piracy
