In an article on his website, Brad Hill writes about the television industry’s need to accommodate his schedule instead of him accommodating the schedule set forth by television executives. He argues that the presence of digital captures of television shows on file sharing networks helps make the shows available to people whenever they want to watch it and eliminate the problem of waiting to see missed episodes as reruns. I agree with this argument, a service similar to the recently introduced MovieLink in which you could download commercial free TV episodes at any time to your computer or Tivo box for a reasonable fee (say $1/episode or $15 for a season) would be a winner. 9:53:20 PM
