Great article on the new trend of downloading TV shows for personal use. It's from today's Guardian (UK):

Hehehe, I'm guilty of 2, I tried 5(came out japanese, and I didn't feel like trying again) and I of course downloaded all the firefly eps.(after watching what I could)

Buffy I feel they still made money off my downloading. I watched the first 5 eps of season 6 in a hotel when I could(as my channel at home was crap until recently, damn antena) and now I caught up so I can watch the series finale :)

That's awesome that firefly is in the top 10, especially considering there's only 12 episodes to download compared to several seasons of the other shows.

I am guilty downloading 4 of those, 1 of them just occasionally.

I've only had the hubby download the Firefly shows so far. But since we don't get UPN and our Fox station dosn't come in very well, I am going to try to get him to download the Nathan/Caleb episodes of Buffy for me.
