LOL, you must really hate kickstarter. If this site wins, it will set a precedent that can apply to other pro-consumer websites. That is what you get.

Part of the reason why ratings drop are because of illegal downloads.

You got a citation on that? No one in all of tv and movies have in any way proven illegal downloads have lowered ratings.

You would be the first person with any evidence for this and that would make you an MPAA rockstar, you should sell your evidence to the MPAA.

so numbers drop away significantly when people are downloading instead.

Neilson ratings go off of neilson boxes, unless someone with a neilson box wasn't watching, ratings would have not been affected at all.

I will also point out that stargate sg-1 was one of the first shows pirated. There was a website(I believe stargates.tk) that popped up at least in the early 00s that had all the shows. This was when it was still on showtime. If piracy hurts the show, then it would have been canceled by 2003 for sure. Technically what we saw was an increase in fanbase for the show because it wasn't just tied to US showtime. It probably helped the original move to scifi.

It was MGM's financial limbo that killed the show because scifi-fi didn't want to fund 100% of the cost of production under the existing contract which would not have entitled them to any more rights or profits from the show.

Stop saying verdict, this is a lack of an indictment, it wasn't a trial.

Technically darren wilson can still be charged, there is no double jeopardy with indictments. If voters remove the shitty corrupt prosecutor, they could get someone who decides to try this case. And he can try the case without a grand jury indictment, but if they go for one, it will be easy to get one.

There is no statute of limitations on murder, Wilson could be charged 20 years from now if someone who cares becomes prosecutor.

Interestingly enough, the prosecutor who made sure he wasn't indicted was the one who turned this grand jury process into a quasi-trial. It is just insane that the governor didn't appoint a special prosecutor, it was clear from the start that the local prosecutor had no intent of pursuing charges and going to trial.

It was more than ratings, MGM was in financial limbo and scifi didn't want to pay 100% of the production cost when they didn't own the show.

glad to hear that it's been mostly peaceful up to this point.

If you watched any of the coverage or read any, you would already know that.

These things have never been violent, the only violence is created by the police.

I would not doubt it that police are the prime instigator right now, considering protesters have been largely peaceful.
