 |
|
I'm starting to go into panic mode, and it's only been a day!! Probably not a big scare, they'll be up in another day or so, hopefully!
Anyone know/use another site similar to EZTV that lists TV show in reverse chronological order instead of having to type in each show? Without an insane amount of popup ads/malware?
Not too fond of KA torrents or extratorrents, not even sure they have the range of EZTV's shows. ETTV is another decent sharing tracker/uploader, but he's well behind the folks of EZTV in uploading shows in a timely manner.  [/img] |

Sorry, I jumped the gun, it's not working. Could be fake. Might have to wait a few more days for something to pop up. Or it could be over for TPB. |

| If the torrents are gone, good riddance! People will have to start paying for the music that other people had to invest and risk their money to bring to the public. |

And you might not be an utter dick head when you wake up tomorrow, but that isn't going to happen either... |

If the aforementioned money was guaranteed to go straight to the maker/artist, then I'd agree with you. Sadly the entertainment industry is still dominated by the corporate leeches in the "distribution" industry trying to cling to a business model that has been long outmoded.
Move with the times or die out, guys. Your choice. Controlling internet distribution in the way you want is not possible. |

The model that allows corporate leeches can be changed. If the music is free then the people that download the music become leeches and everybody loses. Isn't that generally why people have to work and pay for what they use and consume?

Which is why I'm very much in favour of direct distribution, and I think many artists are beginning to warm to the idea.
There's always people who will want something for nothing, but there have been enough successful examples of direct distribution and "pay what you want" releases from artists that the corporate middleman can now be dispensed with.
Piracy, though unethical, might actually clue those in charge in to speed this process up some. Or they might continue to remain dinosaurs wanting to keep things the way they are. |

Direct distribution is bartering. Who wants to go back to that economic system? |
