I don't know what the weather's currently like in the former colonies, but I just drove home in the first snowstorm of the winter. :(

Yeah, right...

Over on SyFy Portal, they're reporting that the producers of the new Battlestar Galactica series have actually put out a release on the Sci Fi Channel's own message board asking people in the US and Canada not to download episodes now airing first in the UK:

"The more episodes get downloaded and digitally copied and passed along and copied again ... it creates a dangerous situation where a lot of people are watching and enjoying 'Galactica,' but not seeing it when it counts -- namely on the air," they apparently say. "The more you copy the show and pass it along to your friends now, the more it potentially impacts our total audience in January."

Cynics Some people might say that the producers have created this situation by selling first rights to a tv station outside their largest market and are now desperately trying to regain control. Others might say that, as long as no money is changing hands, the producers need to keep their nebs out.
