Or just paying people for the work they perform?

I wasn't really arguing for or against downloading TV or Video via
iTunes, just pointing out that comparied with finding a bittorrent file
and waiting overnight for it to download (and sometimes having it hang

in Spanish!) or fighting with VCRs or DVRs, well, $2 isn't much money
at all to have the convenience of downloading it easy.
