Damnit, why do they make it so difficult? I can't support the pirates, but I can't support the industry, either. -_-

Fuck the industry, support the artists.

Download freely, and then send the artist a tenner via paypal.

Can we somehow trick them into making us pay to see commercial breaks? So that we don't have to sit through commercial breaks?

Do you have cable TV? If so, you're paying to see commercials. Unless you have tivo, then you're paying to have commercials overlay your program.

Well, I pay for cable which I use to download shows. So...the problem was solved?

See, this is stupid. So very very very stupid.

No-one would bother pirating (or very few would) if the industry didn't set new records for greed and trying to screw people over.

People don't feel bad for ripping off music. Most people say "meh." All because the industry has done its level best to destroy any sympathy people may have for them.
