graculus: (It's all Cyc's fault)


"Has the Internet allowed the power balance between consumer and producer to shift too far?"

That's one of the questions being asked by UK research company Envisional in their study on 'television piracy'. What's that? Downloading episodes off teh Interweb, that's what, as reported here and here, among other places.

The tone of stifled outrage amuses me a little, I have to say.

Meanwhile, heaven forbid that television producers or channels should actually cater to their audience, like re-running earlier episodes of a series for those of us who perennially miss the boat, or releasing stuff on dvd for a reasonable price in a timely manner. Because that would be Bad and Wrong and what are we thinking to even ask them that?

Pffft. No sympathy here, guys.
