British TV Station Offers Downloads

Richard W.M. Jones writes "Remember how the British just love to download TV? Well, British terestrial TV channel five has announced that it will become the first to offer TV programmes to download legally. Except that they don't quite seem to get it yet. They are offering here some videos from this car programme which apparently didn't quite make it to air, for the princely sum of £1.50 (about $3), in DRM'd WMV 10 format (mplayer plays them fine). Still, it's a start, and it looks like they're just testing the water. Hopefully they won't take the lack of response as 'proof' that there's no demand. There's more about this at the BBC's website."

    If you are going to abuse the system, atleast do it with good shit. Half of those books are total shit and dont cost anything(aka he isn't going to make any money). I dont even think he is getting any money off of half of them becuase that dont even qualify for the associate program. Damn stupid people, you making your self look stupid for a whole 6 cents.

    That's not what this thread is about. Are you trying to pull off a threadjacking? Try to stay on the topic, my friend.

    Who cares. Your post was an attempt to hijack the entire discussion. Mod yourself down.

    The parent message was Offtopic because it is a Flamebait Troll.

    Profane MuthaFucka is stalking Scrameustache throughout /.
    He has posted numerous messages detailing various bodily functions he wishes to perform with his "cock" on "your mom", in reply to Scrameustache in every thread he participated to for weeks, he replies to every journal entry by Scrameustache, and this false accusation of threadjacking (a question on who the target demographic for this TV show offered for download is obviously not offtopic, nor threadjacking towards something different from this thread on a TV show offered as download) is obviously a puerile attempt at retribution to this.

    Posting AC to spare you the trouble of modding this down to 0.
