South Park To Be Available Online Free and Legal
garnetlion writes "South Park is coming online, free and legal. My brief research has not indicated if it will use DRM, require some silly Windows-only software or be otherwise substandard. According to a Wired blog article, 'Parker and Stone said they were inspired to start the site when they got 'really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time. So we gave ourselves a legal alternative.'" In this regard South Park joins fellow Comedy Central notable The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, whose archive was made freely available online late last year.

Now we'll see which mods have seen s12e03 yet.

they killed DRM! You bastards!"
"Just discovered last week... NBC has the entire season 4 of The Office online"
... that's almost as good as if Paramount were to offer Star Trek V for free download.
OMG
*crosses fingers*
The episodes are already online. Not "coming soon", not "to be"... you can see them right now.
Not "to be", eh? Well I guess that finally answer that question.

Whether it's tacit or explicit approval, everybody wins. Hell, even Microsoft is "cool" sometimes, right?
I knew they'd blame this on Canada!

And miss out on the William Shatner commentary track that's on the DVD? No way, dude!

Star Trek V? Didn't the numbering go 1, 2, 3, 4, 6? You must be joking about this "5" thing.

That makes me a saaad panda.
If you're paying for high res South Park, I have a nice, shiny bridge to sell you
Patriotism is a virtue of the vicious
Yeah, but making it legal to download will take all the fun out of it ...

If it's the same orange pen I got, it summed up vista and office 2k7 nicely:
it looked like a fairly standard retractable ballpoint. It had features that were pretty but pointless (led lights) that were activated using the interface (clicker at the end) that is normally reserved for the pen tip Hide/Unhide function. To Unhide the pen tooltip, you had to turn the barrel (requiring both hands). Making it twice as difficult to use as opposed to it's implied functionality.
Furthermore, it crapped out on me halfway through the keynote.

Do you mean "pissed" in the American-English sense or in the British-English sense? Because both seem entirely plausible for a Scot.

Wow, I wonder how something gets listed as tasteless?

I had the same situation last time I went to a M$ event. Mine was silver, with loads of blue LEDs in the clear barrel. Clicking the clicker on the back would change the pattern of the lights blinking. You had to click about 20 to turn the damn thing off. Also, the pen died before the conference was even over. (I only took about a page of notes..) But I never did realize the parallels between that pen and microsofts products... thanks for that.

The answer is here.
For a site about things like basic rights, Slashdot users sure do like to censor "dissent".
Isn't that part of England?
You're getting the Data Center pens. Not as pretty as the ones for the unwashed masses, but at least they work, most of the time.

If the average Slashdot user doesn't know how to bypass a country restriction anymore then we have a very serious problem here.
...But what does God need with a download service?
Yup...
That's why I am holding out for an open-source, standards-compliant pen. When the ink runs out I know I'll be able to get a refill, and when the battery dies - hey wait a minute! One purpose, one tool. I'll stick with pens which are just pens, thank you! ;)
