Lost goes ermm... adrift
Found this story pretty amusing. It would seem that downloading TV shows has really 'come of age' now, so much so that it's seriously hurting prime time viewing figures. Whether it's the irritating adverts every five minutes or the fact that the US is a few episdoes ahead, people it would seem, would rather download than watch a broadcast. And as someone very familiar with the dark side of the t'internet and who hopes to earn a nice crust sorting out malware/virus ridden and otherwise shagged PCs all I can say is, may it long continue.
