The worst bit is that I'm an American expat who would have to wait years to see these shows.... dubbed in German! I don't like dubbed anything, I certainly don't want to watch shows from the US dubbed into another language.

tvtorrents to the rescue! and no, I don't think this is stealing since the shows were paid for already anyway.

Personally I think the whole way we deal with shows no longer makes sense. The reason it is "illegal" to download or watch these shows online is because the stations in your country paid for the right to show it to you. It happens in my case that I wont watch their "value add" because I hate dubbing. The internet has replaced the need for these intermediate middlemen and the sooner everyone accepts this the better for all of us (even them, they need to be learning their new jobs asap).
