Moi aussi. But if I don't find the overall deal worth it, I won't buy it. If everyone buys a product that doesn't provide the value desired, it will never improve. I also won't partake of something when I dislike the terms it is provided under. In other words, if a company really doesn't want me to watch their stuff, I will will be happy to do what they desire, and not watch it. I won't "retaliate" by downloading it without their consent. I simply will not watch it. I think that's the wrong thing to do (for a number of reasons, which I won't get into here). (You're entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to mine. (And on the Internet, everyone is entitled to voice their opinion. And usually does! (And (on an unrelated note) I like parenthesis. (Which I've mentioned before.) (No LISP jokes, please.))) > Ok, so maybe Mythbusters blowing up a cement truck till it simply vaporized > has limited education.. :-) Best explosion I've seen on TV seen since PEPCON.

Perhaps it may be more viable than one might think. If I do it, I'll report how it goes. >> There are benefits, too: No commercials to skip.
