Im an Aussie that lives in the US and I cactch up with the Austrailian Braodcasting Company ‘s (Govornmennt funded ) Chaser that I get through my MIRO RSS feed ….

The Chaser Team where seeding the Chaser on torrent sites and putting the show on Youtube before the ABC made it availible for download via the Chaser Website .

Big Champagne ain’t trusted by anyone who knows anything about actual real-life online piracy. “A lot of British and European TV does really well on torrent sites” – NO! really? What’s next? Those popular movies released in the cinema will be downloaded a lot?

Bigger files obviously mean more data moving through the tubes. His prognosis for a long writers’ strike? “BitTorrent traffic will be way up.”

So if traffic is dominated by the few big shows (you forgot Prison Break, btw) and they’re not showing, everyone is gonna go rush to download full season packs of other stuff they’ve missed – and hence traffic will “be way up”? It just doesn’t add up. People can only d/l and watch so much. They’re not gonna d/l a season pack of Ugly Betty because Heroes just finished. Have you see how much new stuff is capped and rlsed and available every day anyway? There’s plenty out there to watch full stop. Traffic isn’t gonna go ‘way up’ because a few shows might have the odd eppy delayed. Garland is just out to hype the problem and push BC…
