Phew. That one dude came back.
But not before I suffered through an overly compressed 720p copy with mildly blocky video and a goddamn "downloaded from..." popup.
I don't know what to think anymore. I have grown accustomed to mostly accessible timely releases of high quality video, and one day that will all come to an end. Some day, when piracy finally gets choked off, can I blame the copyright holders and their representatives for restricting access? I talk up the shows I watch. Especially when they're new and do something better than other shows do. But being mr free advertising probably isn't what the producers want me to be.
It'll come to an end, my friends. At some point, it'll be worth a distributor and producer's effort to make content available for "free", but that time is a long way off and needs a revenue source that doesn't exist yet (and probably requires unification of all distribution on a massive and worldwide scale). Long before that happens, the torrents day will be if not done then certainly squeezed.
