...in piracy.
“According to Envisional, a web monitoring company, Australians are responsible for 15.6 percent of all online TV piracy, bested only by Britain, which accounts for 38.4 percent. The US lags behind in third position at 7.3 percent."

Why? Aussie TV sucks balls
Posted by: Dan at April 7, 2006 09:33 PMThe current model of TV is crap, and should be changed. What it should be is TV on demand. As in, you say, "Hmmmm, I want to watch (insert show here). "You go, click on that show, and you get the high quality stream for...20 cents or a dollar...whatever it is.
That would go a long way to solving piracy.
Posted by: Aidan at April 7, 2006 09:47 PMSome Aussie drama is OK. I don't mind the odd Aussie detective show. Can't stand Blue Healers or medical dramas though.
Posted by: Engels at April 8, 2006 02:37 PMBlue "Healers"? Now that sounds like a medical drama....or porn film. ;)
Posted by: Aidan at April 8, 2006 04:29 PMHa. And to think I some times tell people how to spell my last name by saying like 'blue heeler'.
