In the not too distant future, next Sunday AD

It all started when SuprNova went down. That didn't bother me that much, since I didn't frequent SN that often. I mainly used DonVito (which then became Bi-Torrent). They had excellent categorical listings. But my main use was MySpleen.net, which offered copyrighted materials, but mainly stuff you couldn't find anywhere else. Rocko's Modern Life is a great example - it was a 4 season cartoon that was terrific. Of course, they never show it on TV anymore - even when the guide says it's supposed to be RML, it's something else. That, and you can't buy it on DVD. I know myself, along with a lot of other RML fans I've spoken too, would love to be able to buy it on DVD. But they're not selling it - sure, you can get Ren & Stimpy, but not a quality cartoon like RML. That's the frustrating thing - yes, it's copyright infringment, but it's not like they're losing any revenue over it. The same goes for MST3K - BBI has *always* encouraged tape trading amongst fans (to the point of putting "And remember -keep circulating the tapes" at the end of episodes), and this is simply the logical extension thereof. Take DAP - they only share the tapes that aren't available by any other means - DVD sales by Rhino being the primary means. It's like they're saying "Ha ha ha, no one's allowed to watch this! Even if you're willing to pay for it!"
