how stupid do you have to be to not realize the "Choice" you just gave me was another example of you trying to go backwards on the rights the court have already given me.

the courts didn't make pause buttons that only worked during playback

they didn't prevent the pausing while recording

they granted me the right to make my archive commercial free if i wanted it

how can you not see that your actually trying to take way that court granted right with your "choice"

so then let me rephase. your two options for downloading a TV show are:

1. Torrent,. no questions asked. commercial free show.

2. Studio supplied download site. The show is commercial free, but there is some type of authentication process in place to prove that you have the right to be downloading this material.

Which do you go with?

asuming it was equal it quaility

and the authentication process was no more intrusive then you originally talked about

number 2 every time

for the simple reason that i don't want to have to waste my time explaining to any copyright holder why i have a fair use right to use the pirate site (like i did when i got the letter regarding lost way back when)

i would rather spend those hours getting paid for working or spending the time with my family and friends enjoying myself.
