Australia is up to Episode 3 and amazingly episode 8 in the US but alas it's supposed to be direct. So to those who are against downloading, all I can say is keep sticking your head in the sand and believe what you wish to believe. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
It was the same with American Horror Story it was a little behind in the last season I was downloading it. I have also been downloading the current season of Gotham rather then waiting for it.

I downloaded the first two season as well, but ended up buying season 1 once it was available. I will get the others once I can, same with AHS.

It is Funny ever since Piracy Started on the Net came Main Stream with Napster.

The Entertainment companies saying it will kill them but I see the Opposite Happening with them Getting Bigger.

Showing all there Complaining is Propaganda and they just want more $$$$ and use any excuse to get it

There's another crackdown about to occur, the funny thing is that they are blocking web address not the IP address. :shock: :lol:

The Blocks are Usless. Easily get around with a VPN or Change your DNS Server.

So it's waste of Money :lol:

They're never going to realistically stop illegal downloading, unless they just stop the internet then there are other ways. Before the internet there were many people trading wrestling tapes, copying them and sending them around the place.

A guy down here who was copying PS2 games and selling them managed to win a case against them for pirating, they could never prove he was selling the games. Even though he was, he was also doing modding of machines with the modchips, he won the case and they were deemed legal.

They tried so hard to get him on piracy, and they failed every time.

Love Hearing when the Copyright Bullies Lose :D

Mooding does not = Piracy. There is more then Burned Game you can use a ModChip For.

Agree they will never beat Piracy. Unless they Turn off the Internet :shock:

Or they make content available quickly at a reasonable price so people don't see a need to download.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

That be the Best Outcome and It would make people Pirate a lot Smaller then it is now.

But would they do that instead of Sooking about Piracy?

I think they're a little out of date, thinking they can dictate terms and beat piracy with threats of lawsuits, or jail. Clearly none of this has worked at all over the years, so it's time to combat it like FTA has tried by fasttracking TV shows, if Village does it, DVD and gaming retailers do the same they can get ahead of that. Also as Stui said reasonable prices can also help curve that.

There are many who are not pirating because they want it free, they want a cheaper product sooner.

Agree that Cheaper Prices be just about the Biggest Thing they can do to Curve Piracy. Also having Stuff come out at the Same Time all over the World would also help. So you don't have People waiting for Stuff to Come Out.

The Stops of Piracy they tried has had next to NOTHING to stop Piracy

If waiting an hour or two for a tv show, or even longer, is your biggest problem, your doing ok!

Pirate away if your comfortable with it, but don't whinge if you get caught
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
