Beginning of the End? Newsgroups take a hit…

Chalk another up for the MPAA. They have successfully shutdown one of the best newsgroups indexing sites, Newzbin.com. There is a problem if the MPAA is able to take down an indexer but not the people that have originally uploaded the content. A lot of the times, it is their own distributors with the breaches! Now I use the groups to download TV shows, most of them are from the current season. If networks like CBS would offer a better on demand service of their shows, I wouldn’t have to be downloading commercial free episodes of their shows. Places like Hulu are awesome for ON DEMAND content. When will the MPAA, RIAA, TV networks get with the program and cater to their customers! We are pushing for change, WTF are you doing going after the wrong people and forcing old ideas on today’s generation??

A sad day for the internet…
