I download lot of TV episodes but still have TV service. Technically I could just PVR it, it would practically be the same thing. I just like having movies/content as a file on my server because it's more portable. Ex: if I want to watch stuff at work during my night shift I can just put it on a USB stick or VPN into my house and watch it.

As for leaking episodes or movies before they even air, I think that's a douche move though. At least freaking wait till it airs before pirating it. I hate when there's spoilers all over the internet for something that's not even out yet.

I pay a lot of money to be able to watch HBO. I have no respect at all for anyone who steals TV shows and movies. These types of people have no morals and honestly, don't deserve to be a part of society. Either pay for the things you want, or don't have them.

People who steal and cheat are scum. I don't care if you steal a $.25 pack of gum or a $20k watch. Stealing is stealing.

You just stole 5 seconds of my life with that post. Stealing is stealing, you thief!

You may as well get rid of that avatar then, because you must hate America. America is based on stealing. In almost every aspect, including those pay tv channels you apparently hold in such high regard. Isn't looking at everything in black and white awesome?

Straw man is full of straw.

Stealing is stealing. If you are a thief, you are scum.

I'm not condoning. I'm making a point. This country is built on stealing. You probably should change your attitude, because I find it funny. You can call it strawman, it doesn't change that it is true.

This country is not built on stealing, it's built FROM stealing.
