So far I've found it much easier to find my favorite tv series via torrents than itunes, for example The Invisible Man is not listed at I-tunes at all but I can find it via torrents. (it's not exactly easy to find in stores either) I won't even go into the absurd prices they are charging for Star Trek the Next Generation dvds.

but yeah downloading via Torrents is a slippery slope. Me I love my favorite TV shows and do my best to support them by buying the DVDs when they are released. (as long as it's not priced at 80 dollars, really I think 20-40 is reasonable for one season)

As for ebooks it's driving me nuts that I can't find some authors on darknet or ebook publishers at all! I'm so tempted to buy my own OCR scanner and scan my own book collection in because I can't find books I own on paper anywhere on the net. And I can't find some books via darknet that are at ebook publisher's sites but cost way too much. No one should have to pay 30 bucks for an ebook, that's just crazy. Especially for a book that is already in paperback.

Um anyways, I'm all for downloading via darknet if you can't find the book at any ebook stores. It's not your fault they aren't selling legal ebook copies.
