No, I was on point. "Want something for free" has nothing to do
with it. You introduced that red herring. People want the TV shows, and are
prepared to pay for the technology and to acquire the knowledge to get
them. It wouldn't change the situation much if they did have to pay per
episode. As Geo and I have both noted, if they are available over the
counter at a reasonable price people will buy them.
