I have a 7" Fire tablet and I bought the protective housing for it

little 7" tablet when I visit the toilet to drop a load of Readymix.
I used to take a magazine or newspaper(remember them) with me to the
bathroom when I needed to rid myself of toxic solid waste. Ain't
technology amazing? ^_^

I was watching Andromeda. Netflix had the first season but not the rest.
I got up to Season 2, Episode 8 on Amazon and it wouldn't play. A popup
said I needed a ComicCon subscription, $4.99 a month after a 7 day free
trial. I think Season 3 is still available.

A guy was bitching about another scifi show he had been watching that
suddenly required a subscription. Apparently ComicCon bought the rights
to some of the old shows and are trying to capitalize.

What ****es me is I'm guessing the buck stops at Lionsgate; I doubt Lexi
Doig and the others are getting big royalty checks.

Google "piratebay"


I'm pretty sure Lexi doesn't get dime one from TPB either...
Intellectually I'm glad places like TPB exist; practically it's not
important enough to me to bother.
