Hell no!
And don't, but do become legit as soon as I could.
Which was my implied point.
I have the new Dr Who, but will buy on DVD as soon as I can (and watch it if it ever is shown over here). I have recorded the new Hitchhiker's, and although they have released it on CD, I know they will release all five seasons as one box set after the fifth season has been transmitted, and I will get it then.
So I suppose what I am suggesting is that downloading episodes is OK, but there is an implied contract that you will replace with a legit copy as soon as you can.
I was, I admit, bringing up the whole DVD zoning issue as being pointless and possibly illegal as ensure more people know about it.
It's one of my many soap boxes.
Not too sure what you mean here. Amazon has the DVDs available already. You can buy them from the US, and play them on your multi-zone player.
All perfectly legal, all perfectly legit.
The trade practices act of 1974 and the copyright ammendments come together to make the zoning of DVDs illegal in Australia. All that's needed is a court decision to make it law.
Any thing that restricts choice is illegal(Trade Practices) and we are allowed to parallel import(Copyright amendment). To the best of my knowledge neither have been negated by the further amendments.
Quite right, the fault here lies with the ISP. With certain items there are some basic assumed knowledge, with others not so much. The supplier(usually as part of the sales pitch) covers limitations and how to use. The internet is on of the more complex and frustrating tools around, a supplier of DSL would be saying: "It's fast, but consider this.... And this is what you need to get around it." When people ask me about getting DSL, I suggest a router with built in fire wall, and tell them why.
A terrorist is someone who uses terror to influence others. The plot to blow up Hitler wasn't a terrorist thing, they just wanted Hitler dead. Lee Harvery Oswald wasn't a terrorist.
By the strict definition V isn't a terrorist as he aims to destroy the regime not terrorise it until it gives up. He does, however, use terrorist techniques and does scare the people in power, but his main aim is to pull the common people out of their complacency by using shock tactics.
A flash of ID and I get a boarding pass, no preprinted ticket to loose, no paper usage. It's all good. They know who you are from your booking/airline ticket. The ID is just confirmation that it was you who bought the ticket, or that the ticket was bought for you. Airline tickets are like cash, if you loose it, tough (In theory anyway). The only way to replace it is to buy another. If you find one, you can use it. The need to show ID helps with this a bit.
Further more, I want the airline to know it's me on their plane, after all they have my luggage.
It is interesting how people hide behind the letter of the law when they know they are doing something wrong (I've just been through a email chat with a computer manufacturer re DVD regioning, as they said there is no law in Australia that prohibits region locking on DVD ROM drives, there are two laws that suggest it is wrong (Copyright ammendements 1996, and section 45 Trade and Practices Act 1974)).
Free speech says you are allowed to say what you want, but surely the reality is more like you are allowed to listen to what you want?
I don't want to listen to spam!

Neil said that they would let Terry Gilliam do it for ten punds and the cab fare home, if he argued, they wouldn't push for the cab fare!
"We like your idea of chocolate chip ice cream, but we don't like these dark crunchy things in it."
Neil has also been through the same process as Adams (With Terry Prachett), and says he would ammend Adams' description thus:
"We like your idea of chocolate chip ice cream, but we see it as a bread type base, a tomato puree covered with cheese, pepperoni, maybe olives."
This is why Good Omens will not become a film (unless Terry Gilliam does it).

Nah, that's just the Sydney accent. The rest of us can talk proper.

Ideally we should never be told...

Have a passport with the name Anonymous do you? Does it work?
