I get it and its certainly not as big a deal in my personal mind.....but by downloading you are more than likely not seeing ads, even for a second as you fast forward past them, and THATS what pays for most basic cable shows even more than subscribers. Thats the actual difference, though its certainly still better than my friends who dont pay for television, torrent network and cable shows, and then get pissed when those shows get cancelled.
