Lauren Orsini: File sharing is Magic

laureninspace:

there’s something wrong with the system when pirating is more convenient than purchasing.

I’ve had similar experiences with shows like Doctor Who; I buy the collected editions when they’re available, but I find other ways to keep up with them in real time. Yes, there’s BBC America, but they frequently don’t air things at the same time, and have been known to edit things for American audiences. So I buy a product I don’t necessarily use, because I’ve had to find other ways to watch it in the first place.
