Piracy is Good
[Via Frank Arrigo]
A well written two part article by Mark Pesce:
Part 1: How Battlestar Galactica Killed Broadcast TV
Part 2: The New Laws of Television
This is interesting as the Australian FTA is still have no f'ing idea about it: Seven's desperate ploy looks lost on viewers
Even the "analyst" (Peter Cox, of Peter J. Cox and Associates) quoted in that article haven't got a clue what he's talking about, check this out: "Anyone can spoil it for themselves by looking at the internet but it's a bit like reading the last page of a book before you've finished it."
Either that's a misquote or one of the dumbest statements ever made it to the newspaper. What do you mean spoiled, of course people is not going to be spoiled. You don't download the last episode, you download it in order buddy. Take BSG for example, the entire first season is available for download, would you download the last episode? Of course not! And this is coming for the err ... "expert". If these are the "experts" that the Australian FTA are using then they're really screwed.
Forget FTA, use channel BT exclusively and you'll never turn back. Commercial FTA (excluding SBS and ABC of course, I'm talking about 7, 9, and 10 here) are only good for the live sports broadcast, TV news, aussie soapies/reality TV if that's your thing and that's about it.
