Why do you care about DRM on the TV show if you only watch the TV show once?

Because DRM'd files do not play on my phone, under Linux, etc.

Plus, I want to decide how many times I watch something, I don't need some shitty computer program to do it for me.

ah, yeah well that makes sense.

Personally I only watch 2 tv programs and just buy them at iTunes because it's easier than dealing with all the bittorrent crap.

I used to do the pirate stuff but then I got old and stopped caring about music, entertainment, etc.

Not every player/device plays DRM'd stuff?
