  In fairness

  I greatly doubt the actual band members care about such things or have anything to do with the action. This is their 'representatives' written all over it.

  I agree. The brilliance of House of Cards shows that is is possible.

  $19.99 for CD
  --------------------
  
  And I thought the UK was a rip off.
  
  $19.99 is around 13 quid at current exchange rates. A CD in the UK is usually around 9.99

  I think he means finance new episodes of the shows :-)

  Re: STOP the world! Mike sez: "convenience trumps free"!

  "you claim that content should be free and revenue from elsewhere (T-shirt sales)"
  
  Where does he say that all content should be free? Mis-representing what the blog is about...AGAIN!!!
  
  Also, go away and learn what a paywall is. Netflix is NOT a paywall.

  You could go on forever like that. Far too many shows get cancelled prematurely or with a massive cliff hanger.

  Re:

  Well the Cleanfeed system has failed to stop child porn and online predators, so I can't see any other entity doing a better job.

  I hope they do get shut down.
  
  The activities they (and others) engage in are nothing more than legalised extortion.

  Not only was it made available conveniently and made easy to watch but Netflix did not bother with the ridiculous regional release schedule (which is another driver for piracy)/

  Another point

  The chances that paedophiles actually use Google to find the porn are very small. This would render anything Google does as 100% ineffective.
  
  Cable probably knows this, as well, and is just saying this to gain some political capital in the aftermath of a tragedy.

  Hollywood - Google should do more to stop piracy
  Child safety advocates - Google should do more to stop porn
  Politicians - Google should do more to stop extremism
  
  How long before we hear "Google should do more to stop obesity"?
  
  Google does not have an Internet magic want to make this stuff disappear, people. If you want Google to stop these things why not request the same of Yahoo? Ask? Bing? Google provides a method of searching for content, they do not provide the content.
