I have not carried cable since Cox wouldn't allow me to watch the sci-fi channel without renting hardware per month (the refused to let me purchase the box outright).
I stopped pirating when netflix started streaming, but now I'm back to pirating because fuck these greedy bastards.
Piracy is a market force.
- BeetleB 3y agoThe Sci-fi channel had ads in the late 90's. Maybe there was a time before that when it didn't?
- vel0city 3y agoThe SciFi (now SyFy) channel has always had ads. Go watch any of their early programs and notice how they have these fade cuts in them and are never an hour long.
- PH95VuimJjqBqy 3y agothat's because sci-fi wasn't exclusively cable, hence my fuck you to them for requiring the highest package and a monthly rental just to view it. Instead I pirated their shit.
- vel0city 3y ago> that's because sci-fi wasn't exclusively cable I mean, outside of their original series going to VHS and pirated material the Sci-Fi channel was only cable/satellite. It wasn't OTA anywhere.
