MPAA Targets TV Torrent Sites
It's finally happened, TV torrent sites are being shut down in droves.
This is a pretty stupid move, as TV torrents fuel DVD sales. I only used 1 of the 6 listed sites, but it's still an annoyance.
Anyone want to "share"?

Well, that explains it. I've been spoiled by TV torrents, I tried watching shows on the TV when I moved back home but I can't stand all the commercials. I refuse to be a slave to the TV guide. The way I see it, I'm paying for cable TV anyways, so I should be able to watch the shows that air on those channels any way I want.

I don't do torrents so it doesn't affect me at all.

From a "Family" reviewer: "We Cheer teaches coordination, enticement to lust, women being used as sex objects, and team work."
From Worthy Playing: "We Cheer is, then, for all intents and purposes, the F-Zero GX of music games. It asks for so much, yet forgives so little. It is actually so casual that it's hardcore."LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked sfu_lifer for this post.

It's lame, the only reason I have been downloading tv shows lately is the hdtv down converts have better picture quality than the expressvu I pay for is putting out.....

the MPAA are bastards! Now I'll have to look up my TV shows elsewhere. They'll never stop downloading and/or bittorrents.
