Something I found out

[Tom]

Of the 7 sites I polled

Coolscifi is the only site that is afraid to discuss streaming media.
So afraid in fact, the poll was even deleted.

Come out of your shells guys

Which poll?

 

[Tom]

its gone

 

[Kevin]

Sure it just didn't get moved to the Star Chamber or somewhere else? Neither of the guys mentioned deleting a poll.

 

[Tom]

Don't sweat it

This is a pretty weird thread, but... well, okay, here's my 2-cents:

I don't think anybody is against streaming media, per se -- I think the issue is really copyright infringement, and whether or not a site like this should be seen as supporting or condoning the violation of US/UK copyright law when it comes to movies, TV shows, books, etc. If a site has 100% legal streaming media -- and I'm thinking of sites like Star Trek: Phase II -- then I would think that coolscifi.com would be 100% in favor of supporting it. But when a site is essentially showing pirated movies or TV shows, without paying a dime in residuals or royalties... then yeah, I don't think coolscifi.com should even seem to be encouraging or supporting it.

One more thought -- if you want to discuss streaming media -- or if you want to discuss the propriety or impropriety of certain streaming media sites, without linking directly to those sites -- I would have absolutely no problem with it.

Viva la free speech!
