FOX will simply get with the ISPs, to throttle torrent traffic or simply negotiate so that the bandwidth cap ISPs put on their users is even lower. Eventually ISPs will go to pay as you go, for their Internet and you’ll pay for the show whether you use torrents or legitimate means to get them.

I think it’s time to revolt. I know I’m old, but I grew up with TV that was free. I really object to paying for it. So, I’m working with the stations to help them compete with paid TV so that there are more offerings on the antenna. Why can’t it be the same on the internet? TV survived all of those years without charging a fee because the advertisers paid for it. So, why can’t the advertisers pay for the TV which airs on the internet? It appears that the model has changed. Instead of charging the advertisers, they charge the viewer. No wait! They charge us both. It’s disgusting. Really.

Agreed, if anything it might be termed “illicit” but it’s certainly NOT illegal. Ryan should know better by now. Ignorance that errs on the side of the govt makes it stupid.

There’s no such thing as an “illegal download”. Stop using their propaganda buzzwords.

Why do they always call these things the opposite of what they are. I mean TV Everywhere? Why would you call a move to limit where TV could be viewed and by whom ‘TV Everywhere?’
