Hey, that's a damn good point Aussiegirl. Didn't think about it from that perspective.........that they are making money out of people using up all those gigs downloading. Ha, guess I just don't have a business brain to see that stuff. The only reason I could see is that the ones that still allow it are the ones who are afraid people won't use their service if they do ban it like mine has done ..... and just play dumb for that reason. You'd have to think there's some kind of agreement between all parties concerned to keep the fact that they CAN do it so quiet. I guess if you add both those two reasons together......your's and mine......... it makes more sense, Pure corporate greed rules again!! Sucks!

Guess I'm the only one on the Board who can't download episodes of Celebrity Fit Club. (Maybe some of you are cheering about that.) But I found out why and I'd like to share it with you because it raises a point that's been bugging a lot of people for a very long time, including our friend Sebastian. See I found out that my service provider has a BLOCK on file-sharing websites. That's right, it can be done, and they are doing it. I've only found out now as I don't agree with stealing music, etc from torrent sites. (OK, I was gonna be naughty this time but hey, I'm only human. I figured if it was OK for everybody else, maybe this one time I'd do it too.) And I'm glad I did, because now I know SERVICE PROVIDERS CAN STOP PEOPLE FROM STEALING MUSIC FROM TORRENT SITES!!!! The obvious question here is, if my service provider can do it, why don't ALL the service providers do it to help undo the damage that's been done to the music industry and stop stealing from the musicians themselves! I've always found it hard to believe that something like this couldn't be done as I've studied programming myself. And now here's proof that it can! So why isn't it happening? I don't know about provider locks and shit like that.. i don't download. whats the torrent shit anyhow? what is it? but i have unlimited download..25 megs a second download..instant video no buffering.. i watch no porn so what good is having fast internet . Now what's the thing about downloading TV to play later on iphone or cell phone Vcast..especially with the kids going to school with these video phone things in their pockets? what's up with the celebrity candy? "The only reason I could see is that the ones that still allow it are the ones who are afraid people won't use their service if they do ban it like mine has done ..... and just play dumb for that reason. You'd have to think there's some kind of agreement between all parties concerned to keep the fact that they CAN do it so quiet. " Verizon encourages it so the assholes ( the wall street punks) can bring the shows with them on the god damn phones. But WE ALL will pay for it..one way or another.. I guarantee it.

I don't usually download, I buy cds. But when it comes to this CFC I'm ready to download it because I pay for VH1 fing Europe and I can't see it here rite now. Maybe after some years or so I don't know. Still haven't seen Gone Country...grrr. It's their damn fault and sure I'll get if I can. I'm not willing to wait for it. Mee mee mee selfish mee... and proud of it, not. jk. ;D

Thanks for posting that link to the blog Fanglette. Forgot about it this week. Just from what I am seeing thus far though, it's making me remember what a short fuse Sebastian really has. Harvey seems to have him well under control though, lol. I think Harvey would get anyone under control and yet he's still so likable........ good values. Cool dude.
