Just recently, I have concluded watching Transformers Energon, a show run by USA's Cartoon Network. I did not watch this on TV though, because I am in Las Pinas, Metro Manila. We don't have Satellite TV (not yet anyway). Our cable has not caught up with these nice channels, but I can't think for the life of me why we have those Indian channels were even their dramas have dance steps.
I am quite thankful for the peer-to-peer applications and more recently to bittorrent coz after all these years, I am not anymore confined on what's available on TV, cable or video. I can now watch my favorite shows a few hours after the North Americans. I am now updated in Smallville, That '70s Show, Alias, 24, CSI, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Monk, Lost, etc. Not just being able to keep abreast of these shows, but actually start these shows or download the episodes I have missed.
They say this is piracy or at least in violation of the "all rights reserved" written in their credits. But damn! What can beat having these shows for free?!! (or at least paying for a relatively-faster Internet subscription fee). It's too much a burden to have to wait for a season to finish and be available on DVD.
That's why, even if this is the bad side of piracy, I'm all for it.
