MPAA Targets P2P Sites Sharing TV Shows

MPAA Targets P2P Sites Sharing TV Shows
I’m so sick of the RIAA and the MPAA!

The MPAA is attacking sites that now list torrents of TV programs. Come on! I love being able to watch a TV show on TV live, however, many times I’m away from home and can’t get to see my favorite shows (like 24). I could program my DVR on my computer to record the show or even my VCR, but sometimes I don’t know I won’t be there. We’re just turning into a world where we can’t share any content with anyone else without being sued. It’s just hard to support an industry when they’re out to suck as much money from their customers as they can get. It’s interesting, because they’re numbers for sales of DVDs of TV programs has been almost doubling the last couple years (in the multi-billions now of TV program sales)… they can’t use the argument that trading is losing them money for this one!

I love being able to open up a torrent and download it all compressed and ready for me to watch.

It just sucks that now we can’t even legally share TV broadcasts with each other! I’m just getting sick of big business suing small people.
