since downloading can take forever, it may help to know that they sell those stuff in quiapo. one cd is worth 1 season, P50 per cd. i think grey's season 3 is available there already (i think!) bec i asked my friend to get me the three seasons. P150 and am a happy couch potato. beats being a mouse potato and finding on line stuff to do while waiting. but on the other hand, that's quiapo, so there.

they even have one cd that has 8 movies!

news like these amazes me bec i'm too paranoid to do pirated.

Hey Faith! Actually per new episode it only takes me around an hour to download. Although it's more convenient to buy the DVDs, I prefer to download because at least my money doesn't go to the wrong guys - the pirated DVDs and CDs are usually part of the same network of syndicates who smuggle guns, drugs, prostitutes and illegal immigrants. Better to get it for free off the net from some college geeks in the US.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? there has to be a horrible flipside to everything. ok noted. i'll spread the bad news.

[boyspacefriend]

Lol, dead serious. The people who produce the pirated stuff after all are, technically, criminals. If you want to read more about the global underground economy, try looking for Moses Naim's Illicit.

THe irony is: I bet there's a torrent file for that book. :|

[boyspacefriend]

Haha! As long as torrents aren't taken over by transnational crime networks I don't think the author will mind much.

R Davidson Thu, May 08 at PM I don't think will work. How is a border guard or anyone else for that matter can look at a mp3 on my ipod / computer and determine if it is illegal or not.

I know there is a lot of monied interests trying to break BitTorrent; they've got the big public trackers down to three now, and they are under duress.

There has not been a President in my lifetime that has the potential to educate and lead America and the world to "do the right thing" than Barack Obama by taking advantage of the extraordinary bully pulpit of the presidency.

HAHAHA Okay, bad analogy. But on a more serious note, Skype is sending us all back our rooms to think about what we've done.

As per my last post, it's not Bigponds fault, but that doesn't change the reality of the situation.

It's worth noting that my local HMV has handed over more space to DVDs at the cost of CD shelf space.
