Comment posted on the site: --------- Do you really mean 0.64 cents? As in, 0.0064 dollars, or $0.0064? If you mean 64 cents, you should remove the decimal point. ".64 x" means "64 hundredths of an x". You wrote ".64 cents" which would be "64 hundredths of a cent", or a little more than half a penny. A dollar would pay for 156 viewer-hours of prime time tv. I would be more than willing to shell out a penny to watch an episode of The Office without commercials. By your math above, that would be a 36% profit for Big TV. Why aren't the networks just asking me to chip in a penny per episode that I watch? Better yet, charge me $5 a month to download and watch all the TV I can get my grubby little hands on? Even if I torrent ALL of it, my $5 would have covered the price of admission of every viewer who would "steal" it. It's not hard to provide convenience worth $5. Of course, if you don't mean what you wrote, but actually mean $0.64, then it would cost $500 to make that deal, and I'll just download it from the folks who ripped it from the cable stream. Whether you mean 0.64 dollars (ie, 64 cents), or 0.64 cents (ie, $0.0064), it would be far more interesting if you cited your source for this information. Your argument seems to hinge on this number to some extent, so it would be far more forceful if you were clear about where it's coming from and what it means.
