So a NBC-owned portal is pulling shows that originally aired on Fox off a CBS-owned portal. Yeah. All we need now is ABC to get in the mix and we've got all 4 big networks involved.

All this crap is only available in the US, and the people there can just record many of these programs anyway. Let me know when someone in the US realizes that the world does not end at their national border. I for one won't be holding my breath.

Should really be USAWW.hulu.com.

It's the biggest international advert for the pirate bay I've ever seen.

Why should I have to give a damn which network owns a show before I can go and watch it? When will these people realise that torrents are popular because they're so damn easy, not so much because they're free?

- I don't think people in the US have a feeling of superiority as much as you might have a feeling of inferiority. Calm down and relax. A story that has the letters US in it does not mean your house is about to be carpet bombed!
