Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

All is well that ends in pizza.

You could have someone else download it for you, then provide it to you via other means.

Nobody has distribution rights except the people that made the show.

Which is true. In which case they need to go after the people who are actually doing the distribution, and in the BitTorrent instance, that's... oh, us.

Never mind. *g*

In my own defense, I generally only dl things I can't get any other way. (Well, and UK airings of shows I like, so as to avoid being spoiled for them.) So while it's technically illegal, nobody's losing money by it.

Maybe some kind soul has already taken pity upon you and sent a link to your profile address.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't think there's a version of iTunes for Windows 98.

You can't buy straight from the web site? I hadn't realised. I think MMJB lets you just buy. And for future, I think MSN Music is also an option.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

MSN's DRM is trying to push everyone who uses it to XP, so I doubt their store would support 98 -- or if it does, it won't this time next year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And MMJB says:

Pentium Class 300 MHz processor or better (1 GHz recommended), Windows® XP (including Media Center Edition), 250 MB hard drive space (500 MB recommended), 128 MB RAM, Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later with SP1. Download the latest version of Internet Explorer for free here).

Damn. I know they do run on W2K, but still. Pretty clear direction. Does anyone else sell tracks?

It's the kind of thing that drives people to undergounds, I'm telling ya. But I've got mine and I'm happy!

Strawberry disappointment.

I believe the BBC are going to be putting their programmes up for download next year. I may have done a bunch of drugs, but I'm sure I read that somewhere.
