Seriously are you retarded? because you pay your cable bill doesn't mean you have the right to everything on TV for free. That's like saying since I pay my ISP everything on the interent should be free.

personally the reason why i use bit torrent is because i don't want to be teathered to the internet. Stream is great when i am watching it on my laptop, but with a bit torrent i can watch it anywhere, i can put it on my ipod, i can move it to 52 inch projection tv by copying the file on my usb stick and plugging it into my dvd player.

A) first of all you do not have the right to do that.
B) guess what I rent stuff all the time form Amazon.com and I can stream it to my TV via the xbox 360. So there goes that excuse. I never watch movies I rent from Amazon on my computer.

the arguement that i am costing the show money by using torrents intead of tivo is total crap. The arguement that i should be forced to stream simply because i choose not to use tivo, while tivo should continue to have the right to skip the commercial.

So your logic is if you want something for free it should be free. If I want a porsche for free I should get a porsche. If you don't want to PAY for content either with cash or by putting up with a few ads you do not DESERVE to watch said content. PERIOD. Think about it this way if Heroes didn't make NBC money guess how long it would be on the air? It wouldn't. NBC is not going to lose money just so you can be entertained. If there is no financial incentive for companies to make movies, Tv shows, music then there simply won't be any new content out there. No one works for free. DO YOU? Of course not. To expect others to do so it's stupid.

my cable bill is the licience for my right to view, and no where in that agreement does it say i must watch the commercials. I can go to the washroom during the break, i can get a snack. So arguing that i must be forced to watch commercials because i bittorrent for shows i paid for is insanely irrational arguement.

No you don't have to watch, but inevitably you will see SOME commercials. You're not going to the bathroom every time a commercial break comes on and come back into the room at the exact moment the show comes back on. Also you forget all these networks get money form the cable companies. For example ESPN get nearly $4 from you cable company( well in the US at least ) per subscriber. So even if no one is watching commercials on ESPN they are getting paid.
