i dont know what people are like on the gateworld forum with the topic of downloading SG illegally from online sites.
SG1 tended to air the 1st 1/2 of its season in the US first, but the US mid season break and a thanksgiving break would allow Europe to overtake the US and the 2nd 1/2 of the seasons tended to premier in Europe which would have people from both sides of the pond downloading along with people in Asia, Australia and countries that didn't get it until DVD's where released
This is my question - and it applies to all TV shows.
if you buy the DVD's for example i live in ireland and some shows dont air here for a long time - example would be dexter - didnt even air in th UK/Ire until season 3 had started in the states because when season one came around there was a serial killer over in england and it was deemed too controversial so i had to download it to watch it but heres the question.
Is "Intent to purchase" a viable defence because i buy DVD box sets i have the dexter box sets so i download new episodes witht he intention of buying the DVD when its released.
SG box sets - SG1 and SGA (except season 5) so is it wrong for me to download the first episode of SGU instead of having to wait 5 or 6 months considering i own all the DVD's is "intent to purchase" with evidence of previous purchases make it ok to download because it just comes down to mediocre issues about location and DVD releases not being timed they way they should be
(anyone remember Star trek DS9? every 2 weeks a VHS with 2 episodes would be released for sale?) Thats the way the DVD's should be
Opinions?
also you can only dl from itunes if you have a US account...
