Unlike Mr. Ceolaf, I want everything free and I want it immediately. Apparently that's the way a lot of people want it because that's the way technology is headed.
Regarding Bittorrent, I can understand why downloading a daily show can be a hassle -- you have to wait for someone to upload the original torrent and the download won't be fast until several dozen people have already downloaded it and are seeding. But for everything else I find the combination of thepiratebay.org and utorrent (imagine the "u" is the greek letter mu) to be ideal. I just downloaded the first three episodes of Blake's 7 (500 MB) in about an hour. I've filled up 20 GB of hard drive in under 24 hours before. Hulu might be great, but Bittorrent completely rocks.
