Originally posted by Bigwillyz:Once again why I 'cut the cable', so to speak (going on 5 years now). And no, I don't notice that because nothing I watch has ads in it. I decided a while ago that tv torrents are the future and I think it is hilarious that the RIAA and MPAA (collectively henceforth known as the MAFIAA (from another article)) are struggling to adapt and change, when even the average computer user and technophile could see the changing landscape.
