Everything I've heard about that, Pete is that free downloads will be restricted to the UK. i.e. if you're not paying for a TV license, then you're SOL.
Lindsey: Why--why did you... Lorne: One last job. You're not part of the solution, Lindsey. You never will be. Lindsey: You kill me? A flunky?! I'm not just...Angel...kills me. You...Angel... Lorne: Good night, folks.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Will you be required to prove you're a UK resident, and then be forced to log in? Or is it based on the user's IP address?

I'm not sure how it will work (or not work) in practice, but probably the latter.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yeah, but how hard could it be to convince them to offer a subscription service or a pay-per for folks outside of tv-license-land? If enough people ask for it?

Maybe you'll be asked to spell "color" in order to log in.

I went to the library today, and got prizes: A. a cinnamon scented candle in a tin bearing the legend "Hot Reads For Cold Nights" and 2. a book entitled The Oregon Trail: An American Saga by David Dary. I actually got to choose a book from a shelf full of choices. Mostly Danielle Steele or her intellectual equivalents. I like history, and this is a bit of history I'm not already inundated with books on.

I can't even think "spotted dick" without laughing.
