THE SIMPSONS

Well, that's pretty crude and full of mistakes here :-s
Indeed, simpsons-tv has closed down, I miss it too much! That said, to respond to Babar, I’m willing to gather with friends and buy the seasons, but I don’t want to give in to the economic blackmail that culture imposes on us... Before it was: << we are the only ones doing this, so pay what we say and shut up >> and we paid 40 bucks for a DVD because we had no choice if we wanted to see it... We pay 30 bucks for an album and the same for a comic book, the same goes for books unless we wait for them to come out in paperback and even then, it all depends on the author...
But when we discovered an alternative, that's when panic ensued in the artists’ and their producers’ homes, they would have cried, but they managed to make all of that illegal...
I’m against downloading, I agree, it’s unfair and it’s sad that Tokio Hotel is just barely surfacing with their nonsense, if we download them too, they might as well just go back to sucking their thumbs at home, they might as well not sing…!
That said, I am FOR streaming with a lower remuneration. I would have been willing to pay for simpsons-tv to stay open, anything is better than paying 40 euros for a DVD, at that price, you really want to keep it all to yourself like << I paid 40 bucks, those who want it can pay too! >>. It really annoys them that we have access to culture without them lining their pockets, but if culture were cheaper, we wouldn’t have gotten to this point! Why is it that by making a successful album, we should be loaded more than an honest worker who earns less in a month? It’s disgusting, especially since the singer may not have studied or put in effort, so honestly, we make them famous, we shouldn’t ask for too much.

So I say long live streaming, can’t wait for the Simpsons to reappear, in the meantime, there’s the same site for Futurama (I know there’s one who thought Futurama is crap, but I don’t agree, it rocks and Bender is worth his weight in gold!)...
And for those who love South Park, know that there’s the same site www.southpark-tv.com, with all the episodes, and that one (hooray) is not closed!
