I'm a pirate, arg!

I refuse to pay money for cable seeing as my 20" crt television gets turned on a couple times a month if it's lucky. I do however appreciate a good show when I happen to stumble upon one. To me it's like any art form, there is the interesting stuff that's obviously generated from talent, ingenuity and hard work, and then there is that other cookie cutter wanna-be bullshit. Without cable, I can only watch shows by downloading them using the internet. Yes, piracy is illegal. But, like other laws, that are meant more to coordinate society or benefit capitalist crooks, I'm not entirely convinced that downloading for personal viewing is wrong. I'm not entirely convinced it's right either.

What I am convinced of is Canadians spend entirely too much time watching and talking about TV shows and not nearly enough time volunteering, getting exercise, learning, talking to their children, or bettering themselves. That's my OPINION and I refuse to throw good money after bad by investing in cable.

While this deviant ponders the rights and wrongs of downloading I highly recommend checking out 30 Rock. It's a fantastic show that I have recently become addicted to.
