    Nice setup!, I’m not going to say whether or not I agree with what is going on with the set up but I will say this.  Cable companies have over stepped, I happily paid for HD cable basic at 60$ a moth with a 2 yr contract.  The end of my contract I was paying 80$ a month, I asked why and where did that come from.  I can understand renegotiation contracts make my bill go up 25-50 cents per month ok no biggie, but 20$ difference?  C’mon no wonder people are stealing shows/movies.  These cable companies in america barely have to compete with each other therefore they charge what they please.  They have become too money hungry basically.  IF I had the option of paying just for showtime or HBO, or a ESPN package without the 200 channels I could care less to watch; I would gladly pay for streaming those services or cable.  But there are no options.

     

    Look at netflix I bet they have put a bigger dent in piracy than these silly lawyers ever could, create a cheap good service and people will happily pay for it, along with the content they want.  IF these lawyers (RIAA) keep pushing people they are only going to have a bigger issue on their hands that they wont be able to solve because it has gotten so bad.
