“We have a big demand in this country for north American TV shows in particular…Glee and House are heavily illegally downloaded in the UK” I don't see why that's a big deal as most of the shows can't be purchased and probably won't be broadcasted over here. I'm a big follower of 'if ya like it buy it' and i've not bought much recently

BBC News: "Illegally downloading pirated films is costing hundreds of millions of pounds a year" Fuck, what site are they downloading them off? It's free for me...

I think WB's exec's will not be able to go for the $10,000 dinner but opted for the $8,000 dinner. Man... hard times because of downloading... My heart bleeds.... (Sniff Sniff) QUOTE FROM THE GLOBE AND MAIL:"Net income dropped 8.6 percent to 72.3 billion yen ($886 million) in the three months ended Dec. 31, from 79.2 billion yen a year earlier, the Tokyo-based maker of Bravia televisions said in a statement today. That beat the 65.9 billion yen average of six analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg."Sony just might have to claim chapter 11 because of all the downloading.......
