; it is a mind set that says any program aired in the US should be on a Torrent 20mins after airing, the isn't any challenge to it other than being first so they can get bragging rights.
I can see one big advantage to a proper global distribution/ business model etc. which could negate the affects of these torrents, or at least reduce them.
We here on the list already see the effects already. When Release dates are different, we are not easily able to discuss what we have read or seen with our friends around the world, as we don't want to provide spoilers. The problem is, that by the time it is released elsewhere, our enthusiasm to discuss is diminished.
As the Internet grows the global community, maybe, we will be fortunate to see concurrent broadcast, book and other product release. Not only would this probably benefit those producing the product, and the user, it may even go towards improving global harmony, as people find they have more to talk with others about.
