Some tai-chi would be useful--instead of fighting the momentum, go with it
have a new, relevant show that is totally kick ass and funded by product placement
let them seed
also sell six packs of PLEX http://themittani.com/ | http://evenews24.com/ || Vincent Athena-á||-áflycatcher waaaaat |

"Game of Thrones" cannot use product placement. Commercial mass production does not exist in that world yet.
Nor does it have commercials.
It's funded by HBO. There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.-á-á-á-á - Oscar Wilde |

I had nothing at all to do with the piracy at all. Not a single thing from my side of the Atlantic that for reasons unknown films it in the UK, yet doesn't broadcast here till later.
It was a good episode though.

The last panel, it had me in stitches.
Looks like HBO are acknowledging that the piracy isn't necessarily a bad thing. It certainly doesn't seem to have affected the BluRay/DVD sales.
Eve in a nutshell, it's you vs the universe, and every machiavellian space bastard in it. MY CSM ballot is as follows, Psychotic Monk, Mangala Solaris, Malconis, Mynnna, Apricot Baby, Ali Aras, Steve Ronuken. |

Ahhhh ... Good good! ...
Well I have pirated crap since 1999 ... Imagine that feeling you guys up there felt for a single show, now imagine, NOT GETTING ANYTHING at all down here since like ... forever.
We will neve get any of those awesome series, tv shows, movies that give you some form of entertainment in your dreary 9 to 5 , pay taxes, fees and bills existence. Something to disconnect from all of it.
Nope, we don-¦t get much, except crap local tv, soap operas so convoluted and twisted they are barely understandable filled with plastic surgery addicted "stars" and shows from like 10 years ago. Some channels here even show "Little House on the Prairie" sometimes.
If you get cable you get stuck with the lame localized versions they offer you for Latinamerica plus a bunch of crap channels no one watches and a couple good 3 or 4 channels that are more or less in tune with what is being offered in the north, but I have to pay like 100$ to watch em (in a country where min wage is 400$ a month mind you) ... and well.
People wonder why Latinamerica is a breeding ground for "evil pirates".
Oh well, theres netflix LatAm ... for like 7$ a month I get a ton of movies ... yay! Newest one is from 2009 ... ugh , I also have access to a ton of Mexican movies from the 40-¦s and the 50-¦s in black and white ... awesome uh?
Anyway, yep, try to imagine what you felt with Game of Thrones up and there and make it a lifelong feeling of being cut off from the rest of the world, specially if you enjoy certain types of entertainment. (so no British shows either)
No really, I wish they actually streamed free with product placement , I could live with that.
I still can-¦t force myself to buy movies down here, when local dvd versions are like 240p quality, with no bonuses and sometimes the dvd not even labeled correctly, and I stare at the special editions from Amazon filled with "goodies" and other stuff.
From a pure customer viewpoint, really, it-¦s easier to just boot up my laptop, open my torrent client and get a good solid tracker and wait for my 1080p or 720p BRRIP movie slowly filling my HD, then I just dump it into my tv with my pendrive and enjoy the amazing sound/picture quality with top of the cream .srt files perfectly synced to add subs in spanish for my family.
I like to buy original games and sometimes original movies, but really, with current standards as they are now, not gonna happen. Inner Sayings of BrujoLoco: http://eve-files.com/sig/brujoloco |

Marketing International rights has been so 'lawyered-up" it almost can't happen without great difficulty.
The media companies need to stop, and begin lobbying for easier rights laws, and not damning the public for looking to get their product in usually the only way they can.

Yea.... the Kindle makes it easy to pirate books and worthwhile, PC for movies and TV and iPod for music. Flatmate got a copy of all seasons of family guy (apart form the one currently being aired) and told me it was on offer for -ú100.
He came in and asked me what I was watching, I said last nights episode in HD.
It was awkward....
Better idea would be to broadcast globally on the same day, with BattleStar Galactica it was the other way around, broadcast in the UK first and suddenly the USA was lambasted as a hotbed of piracy.
Just let me buy it as the same time as the special American customers or the internet will be full of people discussing it and spoiling it for me... Hell Wreck it Ralph was RELEASED in cinemas on January 28th here. It was leaving my friends in Singapore when it got to the nation that came up with the English language, what the hell happened to translation to **** this up?

Exactly. In this day and age, why is all media as such not global ? Seems to all still be modeled on mid-20th Century ideals IMHO. There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism.

Hell there was a brilliant thing with Sarah Palin in the last election with her slating the National Health Service as death panels. Fox News forgot they were broadcasting into the UK..... I think the parralel would be gun control in the US as the hotbutton an outsider should never under any circumstances hit.
Michael Moore remembered and pointed it out though. It was glorious.

i think homie in the article sed it rite...
if people would've spent .99c per download, the budget would get bloated, but its not an option....
this may very well be the beginning of future internet sensations... a venture capitalist instead of HBO fronting the money, with no contracts to cable providers to worry over....
you know HBO execs see these articles and think..... I hate comsuck!
still all in all, its just salivating over potential profits.... as HBO ain't been hurting for many years.
Hell, it wouldnt be infeasible for em to just put out a 1.5 hour episode with webercials inserted into the torrent, most people would prolly skip over a couple, but if the commercials were good... some at least would watch and like em.
hell some commercials are really good, with good writers and fancy comedians |

I suppose with that comment, perhaps movies will move in the same direction as games, where you pay the initial money, then more money for later content and upgrades.
They will just film those extra dragon scenes, and charge people 2 dollars to have and own them or something.
Or they can move to a watch for free model, where if the dragon scene gave you a boner, they have the legal right to charge you for 50 cents.
I usually just try to resists most films and media as hard as I can, since most don't give a good first impression, then ask for money with how bad they came across. Only download, when I am pretty much forced to. Signature removed for inappropriate language - CCP Eterne |

Of course not... there's so much of it floating around for free it's ludicrous. Plus you get bored of it in 5 mins tops, so why ever buy a whole DVD. Or are you watching it for the story ?
