I download via torrents and then I buy the DVDs when they get to American markets.
for American TV I don't do that because as far as I'm concerned the internet is almost like public airwaves. Though with all the stations switching over from analogue to digital I'm not sure how that ruling works anymore. Key item is I'm not paying money for tv cable when they throw in 20 minutes of commercials. And I can't just buy the channels I want to watch.
I would buy from Itunes but they are a day to a week late in offering the episodes and I can't move the episode to any of our other computers in the house. We need to be able to download from our main computers and copy over to the projector computer since the projector computer is not allowed to go online anymore. So yeah torrents end up being easier and fewer commericals.
I would not mind paying a tv tax if it meant no commericals and longer programming.
