TV battles peer-to-peer pirates

In our modern world, where almost every individual has access to a computer, we are able to do many great things with this technology. Television has been around for a very long time. Sometimes we are able to witness a scene where a person is upset that they missed an episode or movie that was playing on TV. TV shows used to rely on ratings to continue their showing of episodes and to increase sales. But today, there is a new worry amongst actors, television broadcast stations, TV shows, singers, etc. Any normal person with access to a computer and internet are able to view these TV shows and shows online without missing a scene. Anyone can ask what would be so wrong with this new technology to be able to watch TV shows you weren't able to watch. Well, the answer is that it's illegal. Illegal downloading is when you go on a website and download or watch an episode, concert, movie, etc, from a source that does not belong to the owner. Pirating has become an issue to these people because they begin to lose money. What would the purpose be to broadcast a TV show on the TV at a certain time, if any person could just go online and download it. This issue has increased over the last few years. Such websites like Bitorrent, YouTube, Veoh, etc, have made it easy for any person to watch an episode or movie of a TV show. For us normal people, we find it no harm or disadvantage to download illegal shows onto our computer. We don't lose any money, all we gain is the excitement of watching a TV show/ movie over and over and over again without paying a dime. TV broadcasting stations can't afford to lose money like this, and there are alternative ways. Instead of going to jail for what seemed like a slim chance of getting caught, these episodes have been uploaded onto the websites and sold at a low price. Most people would just ignore the cautions of illegal downloading, but is there really worth going to jail or paying an enormous fine for one TV episode? Watching TV shows and movies on the computer seems like an advantage to us, and may become angry and upset that we are expected to pay for episodes or miss an episode or wait another weeks or two for the episode that's already been aired, but to be fair, look at it from a different point of view. Other people can lose up to thousands and possibly millions of dollars if this continues. It seems unfair so us, but there are always other possibilities, e.g. the Rogers on demand.
