But how many people actually do illegal downloads? And how many of those who do do so for Fox programming beyond "Fringe" and the Sunday night cartoons? Sometimes, I think the more ultra-computer-literate on groups like this one think that everybody else is like them when they're not. If a teenybop or who missed "Glee" last night and didn't record it wants to see it and can't watch it online, she'll watch it on VOD (if their system has it), buy it from iTunes or wait until the wall comes down in 8 days--just like she buys the songs from iTunes every week and have made "Cast of Glee" beat out the Beatles for most appearances on the Billboard Hot 100. -- TV or Not TV ....
