290Gb/month is the equivalent of 61 DVDs or 484 CDs a month.
Look, I'm not against filesharing, I torrent at times for stuff. I just don't accept 99% of the excuses that the freetards use to come up to justify their actions. (A film you want to watch has not released in Russia? 61 of them? Every month?) People pleading poverty about Blu-Ray being overpriced, then download a Blu-Ray disc and to play on their $500 Blu-Ray player, through their $1000 stereo and their $2000 plasma. Come on - don't piss on my back and tell me it is raining.
Similar, I don't accept 99% of the excuses the RIAA et al come up with to excuse their actions either, but they've been done to death.
It is a bit like speeding. We all do it. 80mph in a 70 zone. 45 in a 40. But this is like doing 90 in a 30.
Or to use a less rubbish analogy, walking into the CD section of a supermarket and shoplifting the entire stock.
I agree entirely - I have 1 or 2 shows I watch online, becuase they are either not available to me - e.g. only shown on Sky (which I cannot get in my rented house) or to catch myself up with what is on the TV. I also am not always entirely honest with the rental disks - but at least I pay for them once before I take a copy.
