All of those angry comments frankly seem almost like astroturfing.

Oh, not just seems like. It is. I baited them all.

Notice how they completely dismiss my point of view with terms like "entitled","absurd","unwilling to pay",etc. and don't even begin to acknowledge the problem with the delay between cable-tv and legal internet availability. This pretty much happens with every major change that disturbs the status quo cash cow, but the change ultimately happens anyway ;)

And with that, I'm out of here!

So you're basically admitting to trolling? Nice.

>>and don't even begin to acknowledge the problem with the delay between cable-tv and legal internet availability.

We acknowledged it. We also pointed out that it is not a valid justification for you or anyone to pirate said content, because nobody is entitled to instant access to stuff that comes out. I don't know how to put it more simply than that.
