That depends on your situation. See I have a cable modem at home, but I don’t subscribe to cable. Since the modem won’t work without a cable signal the cable company pipes basic cable into my home to make it work. Thus I get the channel in question and I don’t pay for it. Then there are the people that rip shows and place them on youtube, bit-torrent and the rest. You could also go to a local bar and work something out. I have a group of friends that go to a bar to watch Battle Star Galactica and get ripped. Then there are those on this board that still live with ma and pa kettle so their patriarch can foot the bill for this bull shit. Plus I’m sure most of us have at least one “gusher” friend that will buy the show when it’s released on DVD. There are ways of getting such things without actually paying for them if that wasn’t true I wouldn’t have seen the 2004 DVDs.
NOTE: I am not encouraging anyone to break any laws in any way. I just like to point out that this is a world full of options.
