So in the uk you have a TV license but this does not apply to radio?
So our taxes pay for the radio?
only the bbc stations i think.

Depends who the provider is, but it's the same as normal AM/FM radio.

As for movies and tv series, when drm free high quality (h.264) movies become avalible for download at high speeds at a resonable price
Agreed about the high quality stuff becoming available it will kill off torrents and low quality streams.
I will bet money on that.
I have the subscription channels(although at my parents) and could quite easily wait a few weeks to watch the programs or sky+ them for when im home, but id rather watch them the same time as the americans.
Id happily have adverts in the streams too. dont get why companys dont wise up to this.
Offer easier and faster download speeds than torrents, higher quality(as mkv or whatever since they are less likely to wind up being burned to dvd and what not and resold or whatever, they could offer files already rendered available for small price to be burned straight to dvd??) include adverts(same amount as TV.) and its a guaranteed hit really. Aslong as theres no stupid malware, tedious sign ups, fees, dodgey codecs.
Piracy will force this change soon enough I recon, and its for the good of the viewer really.
No i am telling you everything, im just lost for words as before today i honestly didnt know you could download full games from piracy groups, i thought the only way was to go to the ea online store or through steam.
One more thing i have onboard wifi and was wondering could someone use there comp to somehow connect to the net through mine and download stuff, as i leave my comp on for ages days even and im at my girlfriends a lot of the time so i wouldnt notice if my internet was slow.
i also have had the same letter (£500 fine for me), telling me my ip , my provider, software i use, address and home phone number....... the game in question for me was " Call of Juarez" , yes i did download this from a torrent site but the strange thing is that on the letter it says to contact them by email or fax, no phone number is anywhere on the paperwork i have
