Okay. so i turn on my local TV channel, it's showing star wars clone wars vol. 1 ... okay cool, i can deal with ads... okay, then they go on to clone wars vol. 2.... excellent, i can deal with ads and subtitles... then



AAAARRARHAHRHRAHHGHGGHGHGHHGHGHG



fucking annoying hosts and shit and interviews and all this shit fucked up the clone wars vol. 2 ~ they interuptted right in th middle and now they're showing retard fans dressing up and sh1t...!!



for chrissakes is the MPAA so far up its own ass that they don't know that people don't "do" TV anymore? we're sick of ads, stupid hosts, sometimes we just want the fucking content, man....

    The MPAA is just an organization of big movie companies that acts as a lobbying group, and AFAIK they don't represent the television industry at all.



    The FCC is what regulates TV here in the states, and they were recently told by a federal court that they couldn't restrict what people do with TV shows once they've been broadcast (they wanted to control certain PVR functions like skipping commercials).



    So... uh... go blame Ted Turner or something.

    Because that is rebroadcasting of copyrighted media. The other decisions held that TiVO could not be forced to remove the ability to skip over commercials.

    yes, in my rage i had to choose a large, faceless corporation to vent my anger upon and i chose the MPAA



    edit1: i am glad that my local free-to-air managed to get their hands on clonewars vol1 and2 and star wars episode 2, part of some 'star wars' gala showing yesterday, but all the commercialisation, and rubbish hosts and interviews and sh1t, just really spoilt what i was after -- the content. shure, i would be interested in watching freaks dress up (that's why i went to the very first showing of revenge of sith in my local cinema) but just not yesterday, i just wanted to see clonewars vol.2 because that was important in a bit of revenge of sith backstory ~ especially why grevious was like all wheezing and stuff (mace windu force-crushed him just before he escaped from coruscants surface with the chancellor palpatine)



    edit2: also, my parents don't get any of the cartoon network or nick channels on cable(satellite i mean) Tv, because, well, their 55+ and i'm over 25

    ...but they were also showing clone wars unmolested on cartoon network and all i saw was a nice "you are not subscribed to this satellite TV channel"



    my point is mainly that people are really starting to clamour for digital video downloads, the video-on-demand that has been hyped for years and years and years.



    i understand there is a mix of factors before this is possible, but the big players need to get wise soon, they're only losing profits in the meantime while suing people. you can't sue the whole internet

    Agreed. It is utterly, utterly foolish for the networks not to COMPLETELY jump on the bandwagon. The box is opened, and there's nothing they can do. But imagine: $2-5 to download the latest episode of X at good speeds, maybe with some kind of tasteful advertising (like the US does during the World Cup).



    If anything, the iTMS has shown that this model will work.

    re: advertising, yes, advertising has to take on a new spin, eg. SuperBowl i think you mean in the US, and World Cup Soccer/Football for the rest of the world



    where people actually look forward to some funky crazy cool ads, not just pummeled with another, makes your clothes 10x brighter ..!! rubbish in the middle of your favourite show.

    Oh no, I meant how the US does the ads during the World Cup. Tasteful little badges in the corner of the screen.

    and speaking of FOX, you DO NOT want to get me started on how hard it is to get nice (even legal) affordable DVDs of 24 season 3 and 4



    keifer sutherland is the man.

    Oh, yea.



    PS: I am recording it, but I have 30K upload speed. So far, it is 7.11GB and climbing. A good candidate for H.264.
