While I'm not a fan of discussions about downvoting in HN comments, I did downvote him because I felt like blatantly admitting to downloading TV shows with no further comments on the site in question didn't really help the discussion at all. In retrospect, perhaps the takeaway from the comment is that there's a certain category of potential user who will hear about the site, have a preconceived idea of what it might offer based on the name, and then look for that functionality.

> I did downvote him because I felt like blatantly admitting to downloading TV shows with no further comments on the site in question didn't really help the discussion at all. Because, you know, comparative functionality of media is never of any use -- especially if it's to the "free/not-exactly-legal" part of the Internet.
