git all the good stuff free! Then they media companies started scrambling and the vendors came out with new chips to defeat that.
Eventually they blocked everything and busted the guys operating illegally. One of them was a buddy of mine who was running his scam while working at an auto salvage yard. He got busted and lost his job over it.

It seems we may have reached the tipping point. Myself and many friends have recently dumped DISH, Direct TV or cable to go all streaming. I did it solely to save a lot of money, so I really only want to pay one service as little as possible. Others don't mind still having about the same bill they were used to, they just want better content.

I was expecting it not to last forever when I switched. Even just the cheapest Netflix streaming keeps me happy considering what I was actually watching on the rock bottom DISH package, America's Crappiest 150 I think it was called. I'm saving about $50 a month. We'll see if they screw us and jack everything up to get that out of me anyway now.
