Reblog if you legally purchased something BECAUSE you saw it on YouTube or downloaded it.
And without the so-called piracy, you would never have discovered or gotten into it to begin with.
YES! THIS!
THIS is what really annoys me with this megaupload bullshit—because it’s only in the last month or so that there HAS been a legal way for me to download US tv such as Castle. SO until then, the only way to watch it with the US was to do so online via download or streaming. And how am I depriving anyone of money? If I was allowed to buy it then I would have. And downloading s4 doesn’t change the fact that as soon as s1 came out on dvd in NOVEMBER I bought it. Downloading s4 doesn’t change the fact that I watched s1,2 and 3 on Alibi when it came over here and gave them advertisement revenue, and the same goes for Ch5 who have just started s1…!
You wouldn’t get my ad sales if I bought it legally and if you fecking let me buy it legally I bloody would!!
Hell, I bought a 6 year old episode of NCIS off of iTunes the other day when I could have easily downloaded it for free, but instead decided NOT TO ffs
And then I watched NCIS on FX, wherein they constantly fucking advertise for Thomson holidays, and you know what I did? I heard that advert so many bloody times I LEGALLY bought the song. Because when you like something you WANT to pay for it, so if there was more opportunity shit would be paid for. Uch I feel like I’m losing my point now and it’s going into an ethics argument I can’t be bothered with. just whatever. this is all wrong.
ANd that’s just Castle. You can’t download latest episodes of anything else that I watch, only the latest for that country. here’s an idea, MAKE HULU WORK IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND I’LL SIT THROUGH YOUR STUPID ‘LET’S TURN THAT LITTLE O INTO A BIG O ORGASM’ ADVERTS you absolute wankers.
