Why I Refuse To Feel Sorry For Torrenting Game Of Thrones
Mat came across this article recently and it perfectly sums up the situation we regularly find ourselves in here in Australia.
You see, we don't get TV shows at the same time as the US, so when a show like Game Of Thrones comes back on, like it did this past week, we need to see it as soon as possible. Either that, or no longer be online until the show comes out on DVD or BluRay (yeah, not gonna happen). Let's face it, people are going to put spoilers online, even if they don't intend them to be spoilers. And that SUCKS if it's a show like GOT.
Because our "free to air" tv is so behind, and FOXTEL (essentially, Australian Cable) is so expensive, AND we don't want our shows spoiled for us, Australia continues to have the record for torrenting/pirating television shows.
I thought maybe those of you overseas would be interested to see what it's like for us here (I know, first world problem, right!) compared to wherever you're situated in the world.
Before I sign off, let me be clear: just like the guy in the article, Mat and I DO buy a helluva lot of BluRays. If we love a show or a film, we gladly purchase. If only the networks would catch up, we'd be watching on TV too, but......As always, we appreciate any comments on our blog, questions, or even you might like us to review something.
Yarrrr!!!
Jamie :)
