| 740481 | 2009-02-03 01:13:00 | I'm hearing whispers that iTunes may finally release TV shows in NZ tomorrow, at $3.59 each. However, we heard this sort of news over and over when music and movies were still forthcoming, so don't hold your breath. | Nermal (7077) | ||
| 740482 | 2009-02-03 06:45:00 | FYI: My understanding is that you'll only get the boot if your ISP receives a complaint from one of the pocket-pis*ers hired by the big studios to track P2P activity. AFAIK, the new knucklehead law created by a couple of National piMPs is a 3-strike law. You get a warning, then another, and if you don't reform your evil ways it's bye-bye ISP connection. Xnet, the failed purveyors of their so-called Torrent plan, apparently jumped the gun before the law came in and threatened a customer with extinction after only one Torrent download. Understandably the ISPs are frightened of being sued. |

| 740483 | 2009-02-03 07:27:00 | Just adding my rant... <rant> At the moment I'm almost compelled to pick up some TV episodes from tpb. I got into watching the Terminator series on TV2, even gritted my teeth to watch the episodes with their on-demand service. Now the Terminator series is currently "off air", which is fair enough over Christmas, but we are now into February and there is no indication on when it's coming back. So on the one-hand I'm not into illegal downloads/copyright violations etc, but when the "official delivery channel" drops the ball and provides a less-than-satisfactory service... Not sure who to point my middle finger at, TVNZ or most likely Warner Bros with their screw-over-those-who-don't-live-in-USA contracts. </rant> |

| 740485 | 2009-02-05 05:45:00 | ...nothing is wrong unless you get caught and there is sufficient evidence to convict. That's an interesting position Sweep - would you be willing to explain why you feel this way? Following your logic, shoplifting is OK as long as you don't get caught - and I doubt there will be many here who will agree with that (except maybe qazwsxokmijn :rolleyes:). |

| 740489 | 2009-02-05 06:48:00 | breaking the law? I still don't get the relevance. Asking me whether I speed (and whether I would feel guilty about doing so) has nothing to do with whether 'getting away with something' means it's OK. If you're trying to figure out what my viewpoint on the subject is, it's this: Generally speaking, doing something that would be considered to break the common moral standards or laws of our society is something I would consider wrong, regardless of whether or not I was caught. Even having to choose 'the lesser of two evils' does not mean that the evil isn't wrong - it just means you chose the less harmful one. However that said, there are a few instances where I would consider breaking a law or rule to be reasonable (for example if the law itself is flawed). Whether or not I considered this to be wrong would be on a case-by-case basis depending on exactly what the circumstances were. As another example, I would consider speeding as an everyday behavior to be wrong. But speeding to get someone suffering from a stroke to hospital would not be. Obviously there are shades of grey to consider, but you get my point (I hope). Does that answer what you wanted to know? |
