Yeah, but some of us like Internet porn.

I've been reading about the deal with Verizon. If I had Verizon, I'd be really ticked off. But, we have TWC and noticed the same slow down on Netflix only - Hulu and Amazon work just fine.

There's a war brewing between the major carriers and content providers and it's gonna get ugly. Unfortunately, it's the consumer that gets hit in the crossfire. My husband is in the middle of watching Breaking Bad on Netflix and the buffering is infuriating!

That's the point where I get a torrent and don't feel bad about it. You guys think you have it bad, we have no way of legally acquiring Game Of Thrones without a $75/m cable TV subscription or waiting 12 months for the DVDs to come out (this is happening more and more with TV). Then some things, like The Daily Show, are impossible to get legally.

Yup. There are some things that can't wait. And I don't feel bad about it.

Most piracy is market failure, not a crime. If I have to put up with the market in my education system, then I'll happily use these excuses in my markets.
