IF the torrents didn't exist i would never have watched my own worst enemy.
I didn't start watching it until two different friends recommended it to me ( one because i mentioned i was looking forward to 24 and another when i mentioned burn notice)
the show was over the season was done, only the last two episodes were available for streaming on globaltv.com
if i hadn't downloaded the first episode and watched i would have never become a fan.
comming to the conclusion that i would have bought the dvd boxed set when it comes out 6 months from now is insanely stupid arguement.

I doesn't matter what someone would have or could have done in some theoretical world with some hypothetical circumstance. What matters is that in this reality you- or the freeloader in question- is rocking out in your car, home stereo or ipod to some band's tunes who never got paid for the fact that you are enjoying the fruit of their creativity and hard work. Hardly seems fair now does it?
