Fox: We'll keep our content in iTunes

The television networks need to realize they have to compete with tuner cards in PC's and Macs. Why would I want to spend $100 for a years worth of a couple episodes when I can buy an elGato TV250 for my Mac and record as many shows as I want and have them automatically get stored in iTunes? Its crazy to buy through iTunes when there are more economical ways of watching your shows.

FOX... blecchhhhh. White House talking heads... boycott 'em.

Don't bank too much on this, I was watching 'Family Guy' this past Sunday (on Fox, of course) and there was an ad during the show to download Family Guy episodes from AmazonUnBox.
Did anyone else catch that? It was one of those short commercials that used clips from a few different episodes. Looked hastily put together, something about 'the future'

Isn't there a privacy law in America or it doesn't apply to torrents? I mean how is NBC suposed to know who dloaded TV show?

I rarely use bittorrent -- especially after I got a notice from Comcast that NBC said I was downloading a TV show? I didn't even download it on purpose. But I did discover Peer Guardian. This supposedly helps a lot!

I tend to stay away from torrents - folks, your IP address is open and in plain view with Bittorent. You are asking for a copyright lawsuit. If you are going to download from unauthorized sources for pete's sake go with Usenet groups - much lower profile and, with a little patience and persistance, you can find what you want.

Let the supplier set their price and then Apple can apply their markup as they see fit and then let the consumer decide if they want it. The free market will determine the best model. It alsways has and always will. Capitalism!

If the cost of NBC programs at the iTunes Store increased $1-2 -- like they will when sold by Amazon -- would Apple fanboys continue buying them from the iTunes Store or turn to torrents instead?

I'll get it from somewhere else too - my Tivo

i started buying shows from iTunes after i was notified by my cable company that NBC had tracked my torrent downloads... so i did what they were wanting - i bought - but now they're pushing me back towards torrents! If my company weren't paying for my internet access, i'd do it too :)
