I have Netflix, which is sort of a grey area but I do pay for the content. I do know people who download pirated software and books for Uni but I've not tried it.
I don't illegally download, so eh. But I can see why some people do, besides Foxtel movies package is quite average
Foxtel movies are rubbish, although I'm not quite sure how that is justification to illegally download content. Would you have walked into a video store 15 years ago put a video under you jumper and said "Don't worry, it's OK, Kerry Packer has put Guns of Navarone on again".

LOL. The Sunday night movies were waaaaay better back then.
I agree, I can just see why people might think its okay (ie the cost vs what they get)...

Yeah they were. The Sunday night movie was an institution. Growing up it was always Sixty Minutes and then whatever the Sunday night movie was. I do miss the old days when Packer used to tell the progammers at Channel Nine what the late night movie would be (he had terrible insomnia), it was always something good like Dirty Harry or The Magnificent Seven.

I haven't used Netflix. I use Apple TV. I think we are the 'worst' illegal downloaders.....

LOL. Thats right. Well, I guess if you own the station..... Remember when he saw what Doug Mulray was presenting, and pulled that show off air mid-broadcast.
Australia is the world’s most desirable place to live, according to a survey of nearly 28,000 people living in 11 countries.
Just over a third of respondents surveyed by Boston Consulting Group – 34 per cent – picked Australia as the country they’d most like to live in besides their own, with Canada, the US and Switzerland in second, third and fourth place.
Economic opportunity, education and standard of living were key reasons behind the choices made by participants from the US, Canada, Germany, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Japan, Australia, Brazil and India.
The BCG survey isn’t the only one to rank Australian living standards highly: the country has topped the OECD’s Better Life index for the past three years, thanks to high levels of income, employment, education and sense of community.
"Australia ranks as one of the best places to live in the world by all indices of income, human development, healthcare and civil rights"
