Best comment I read today

Via Mind Hacks I learned about an excellent BBC program on Neuroscience available through Torrent Spy.

One person had made a comment about downloading the series over BitTorrent is illegal.

Vaughan had the following comment;

"Downloading the series over BitTorrent is indeed illegal. But as this is a TV series funded by tax-payers, about science largely funded by tax-payers, it's been paid for twice, and is still not available legitimately after seven years wait. So consider yourself a liberator and share the love.

In fact, knowledge is one of the few things that gets more valuable as more people get access to it. So every download makes the original investment better value-for-money. An investment, it must be said, which is given to the BBC under its Royal Charter to 'inform, educate and entertain'.

So not only are you sharing the love, you're also helping the Queen. In fact, Her Majesty is probably downloading copies now. I know for a fact she has a mean warez collection."
