on why I'm becoming a pirate

So The Office starts up again in 1 week, and my friends and I had planned on subscribing via iTunes and watching using my (now-obsolete) iPod's video-out cable. These plans unfolded when NBC decided not to renew its iTunes contract. NBC wouldn't waste too much time offering another online distribution channel, I was sure, and I was willing to try another method at the cost of my convenience.

However, when those alternate methods were announced (both Amazon Unbox and NBC's own technology) it was revealed they only run on the Windows operating system.

And that made my only remaining choice easy: I'll be using bittorrent this season.
