Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 10:54 AMOh man. How I agree with you. Maybe if I sold them my kidney?

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 1:03 PMid even sell your other kidney so i could get it..
i looked into dodgy ways like vpn to get it here but these all seem to have been shut down.
I want TV, in digital format (with or without ads, i dont care) that I can download when i want it (after it has gone to air) ASAP, preferably as soon as it has gone to air in the states as i am impatient and we can wait months for it to air over here (New season of Futurama for example)…
Legally, What options do I have?

Wednesday, June 30, 2010 at 1:30 PMHeh I had a suggestion right up until you used the word “Legally”
I think your best legal option is to wait until people realise that the digital age has made regional restrictions obsolete and finally start treating the world as a single market.
I’m feeling optimistic about it so I’m setting my stasis pod to wake me up in only 500 years
