    Or 'gave', for that matter.

    Freely? How did you get to the Freely part?

    I love Youtube. But to say that movie studios are competing with it is silly. (even though I might often prefer the YT content),

    We've already been through this many times for many years. This sort of thing is hardly new. There are no novel legal arguments that may succeed.

    We will decide what non-destructively means. (most certainly in our favor)

    Maybe it's a sad commentary, but a lot of people don't do anything interesting all day.

    You're right. And using their free time to watch TV doesn't help.

    And whining about it not being free is even more pathetic.

    How does anyone *need* ways "to more easily watch the shows"? It's not like we're talking food or medicine here. It's stupid-ass sitcoms and comic book movies.

    It's not a choice I need to make. Of course, I can, if I so desire. Or I can decide that I really don't need to watch Star Trek: The Search for More Revenue.

    It's mostly all a fucking waste of time anyway.

    My God, the stupidity of this particular argument is epic.

  22. Re:Is Roku finally growing up? on Roku Gets Tough On Pirate Channels, Warns Users (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Roku does not charge monthly fees like a cable company.

    Actually, they do:

    7. When creating a new Roku account, you will be required to provide a payment method. The payment method allows you to purchase subscriptions to popular channels, rent or buy movies and TV shows, or make other purchases from the Roku Channel Store.

    The real difference between Roku and a cable company is that Roku doesn't own the cable or fiber line to your home.

    You should learn to read your own quotes. Your payment method allows you to purchase extra stuff. Or not.

    And the fact that it doesn't own the line to your house is just another reason why Roku is nothing like a cable company.

    How does Roku get to tell me whatI can use or not use. If they take away "third" party or "private" channels, they are invading my privacy.

    They're not taking away anything. Go scream at your sink for a while.
