Back In The Day, during my college years, Mystery Science Theater 3000 ended every episode with "Keep Circulating the Tapes!" At the time I thought, "This is really something! A show that thinks so much of what they do, they want free copies of their stuff to be traded among its fans!" Where most TV shows would think first of selling copies, here's a show that so believes in what they do, that they are comfortable in telling fans to "bootleg" their show!

And now, here is the freedom of true democracy, the triumph of the marketplace of free thought, doing what our Founders would have...circulating the truth. God bless the Internet, and all who sail on her!

Several networks now offer their major programs via Itunes, etc., for a fee.

Fox Channel is offering some of their programs for free online download.

TV is finally starting to use the Internet more.

Some movie producers have been talking of offering their movies on DVD and Internet download.

Yes, we have a modestly unregulated Internet feed in the USA. We need to fight the battle every day to keep what we have. Red China has clamped down on the Internet there and filters everything in and out of its borders. Don't let it happen here or abroad as open and free communication is the best way to keep freedom alive.
