TV networks: Foolproof way to defeat piracy

I’ve had a pretty fun week. I recently turned one of my laptops into a media server, and am ditching my Cable service from Time-Warner Cable. I realized something after I hooked it all up: Why would I bother to bittorrent TV if I could get it from available online sources? I don’t think commercials are all that bad, and since most of the shows I watch are available online streaming, it’s much easier for me to watch the shows via the websites of the TV networks rather than pirate.

If the music industry would have caught on like the TV industry is, they wouldn’t be in the sorry state they’re in now, relying on Ringtone revenue.
