]]> Comment on The Pirate’s Code by scottfeldstein http://mucollegeofcomm.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/the-pirates-code/#comment-1157 Tue, 15 May 2012 16:19:58 +0000 http://mucollegeofcomm.wordpress.com/?p=1930#comment-1157 The only time I’m tempted to pirate TV shows is when I can’t buy them legitimately, or the only way to do so is really onerous. Take the popular show Game of Thrones. I purchased season 1 of the show on iTunes. But the season 2 episodes did not appear in iTunes for purchase the day after broadcast in the usual way of TV shows in that store. Instead, they would (presumably) become available only after the season had run its course and was also available on DVD. The only other option was to get cable and subscribe to HBO.

I’d gladly pay these folks $1.99 an episode. I did so for season 1. But they will not allow me to do so for season 2 until who knows when.

Take the terrific BBC show Sherlock. I bought Season 1 on iTunes and loved it. Season 2 didn’t appear for US customers because of some agreement with PBS to broadcast the series later in the year than the BBC does in the UK. That is, UK customers are raving about the show and I won’t get to see a thing until six months later–even though I’m willing to pay.

I get tired of waiving my money around and not having anyone willing to take it.

I accept it as cost of using the internet. However, any internet advertiser that uses flashing and blinking in thier internet advertising turns me off. Even if they are advertising something I want I will refuse to be influence by them because they iritated me with thier blinking and flashing. If an internet advertiser want to reach me they need to produce a tasteful ad that is not irritating
