Fox's 8-day delay on Hulu videos causing piracy?

People really shouldn't expect that stuff for free... I'd understand what they were doing if people paid for Hulu plus and still had to wait the 8 days, but this is silly and also why we can't have nice things for that long.

Free? I pay for FiOS...and Fox charges them an arm and a leg to rebroadcast their OTA signal to me. I PAY FOR FOX...just because I don't have DISH network, that does not mean that I didn't pay for it. I also pay for a DVR...but this thing sucks and it often screws up recordings...so I wouldn't even see it as piracy to download an episode that I just missed...at least it isn't piracy if it is the only way to access that show.

People are getting spoiled as hell by the week...

humm priacy spike due to some shows not being on 1 online tv service for 8 days.

LOL.

Talk about over rating Hulu.

What about ALL the other services and ALL these services are only in the USA so once your outside the USA all these services mean fuck all.

I have HBO, but because of something coming up, I couldn't watch the latest True Blood when it aired, and HBO, in it's wisdom, doens't play it a couple hours later (like Showtime and other channels do). You can't get it "On Demand" for like a week or something. Of course, the cable company wants me to pay extra for their "dvr" services.

Screw that, I downloaded it and watched it an hour later.

If the media companies want to be stupid, whatever. It will be their loss.

When did the RIAA and others get the right to change the dictionary meaning of words, After the establishment of copyright law with the 1709 Statute of Anne in Britain, the term "piracy" has been used to refer to the unauthorized manufacturing and selling of works in copyright.
Someone downloading an episode of a show because it's the only way to obtain it and only for personal viewing ie: not for profit or sale, can not be considered piracy, a misdemeanor at most surely ? Perhaps if Hollywood ensured the availibility of it's products at an reasonable price they wouldn't need to attempt to have there lawyers push for the death penalty in such cases.
I however have my doubts with in my opinion so many corrupt politicians and Judges clearly in their pockets !
