Everyone has there own way of watching a PPV and if you don't want to change your way of watching it then that's your loss and is your fault. Tell me not to talk down to people blah blah, well i'm giving tips on how you could save that $5 if you really need to pay for pvp. ALSO you say oh well im not stealing it im atleast honest(basiclly saying you know me, and that you think your better then me) well your wrong and IMO that is talking down on someone.
Simply put, give up the bitching your not forced to pay for it.

So because we're not being forced we don't have the right to complain? We're here to talk about the subjects related to MMA and voice our opinions. This qualifies as that. What are we supposed to be happy?! Give me a break. If you don't want to hear people complaining about about a relevant topic with justified opinions, stay out of the thread. No one is making you open this thread and read it, so by your own logic you don't have the right to complain!

I don't know if you're an honest person or not, and i'm nobody to judge you anyways. But on this specific topic what you do is illegal, and you're talking down to people who go the legal way, that is not right. If you were just giving tips on how to save the money you wouldn't have thrown in the nasty attitude.

Well first of all downloading is not illegal uploading is illegal, or selling copies is illegal. And all i'm doing is giving advice to others on how to deal with the $5 extra charge IMO it's not a big deal and it's not only PPV's that go up in price so I know what i'm talking about.
Some people here are just plain ignorent thinking there better then someone becuase they pay for somthing that they don't need to.. well that's just pathetic. I understand that everyone is made etc. but you dont have to pay for it, and you don't have to come on a forum and complain either you will still pay or you wont, simple discussing things on here will get you nowheres.
Also explain how i'm talking down to others, i'm giving others advice and if they don't want my advice then honestly they have no right to complain.
It's you and a few others who are talking down to a few people here and it's not the first time for a few of you, it's pretty typical.

And whats your point? I'd say around 25% of the world downloads things, but your saying you have never done it because it's wrong and you don't wanna see the UFC dissapear or anything so your obviously better then me because you pay right? Your deffinitly implying it weather you'll admit it or not.
SO LOL @ ignorance there bud.

I didn't say that and quit taking things personal- . Cheer up codyfromstorm. Tis the season to be jolly.

Haha your right, but when people question my personality because I download somnthing and save myself almost $50 a month, I find that offensive since I have many other things I must buy atm. Espessaly around xmas.

Err Holidays frustrate me haha

Some people just want to vent about the $5, cause we are all fans of mma and go through the same stuff. I'm sure people won't complain forever.
Plus even if I order a fight and want a second look (cause I don't record it), I'll try to find it on youtube or whatever. If you know better place to catch a re-run, hit me up via pm. I'm no angel by any means.

Downloading is unlawful in most jurisdictions.. canada just has odd laws. However, when you are on a torrent even if you set your UL to near nil, you are still uploading data. I rest my case.

I doubt many people here know what your talking about, also who says i'm uploading you cannot tell, and even if I am sue me..
So aika your telling me you have NEVER downloaded anything in your life that isn't "right" ?

I am saying your argument is not logical. For example I am on a torrent getting the newest build of FreeBSD.. I can see every IP currently connected, each person who is downloading, how many bytes uploaded, latency information, and host country. Torrents automatically upload packets until the torrent is finished and information is shut down. Even if you are manually fudging your UL speed to a null value, some packets still upload regardless.

You guys need to hug. J/K

Just because I watch lots of jidaigeki dosent mean anything punk

How much do you know? Am I safe from your computer smarts lol?
I'm curious to know how many computers, I logged on to FF, that you know of. Wanna guess, for fun? I'm really curious how good that program works of yours. I'll give you a hint, it's more than one.

Hahah.. all I am going to say is that yes, you have checked FF on multiple computers both work/school and home. No need to dig around just for fun and misuse the system though

Aika just because I don't pay for PPV doesn't mean I dont know how this situation. Prices go up in a lot of daily things like gas, I have no problem with gas money going up because I know that money is going somewhere and being used, and it's not much money. So I know the whole situation it's nothing new to anyone and IMO I just don't see what everyones big problem is, nothing this insane happens when gas prices go up $.5 or anything and gas is a everyday MUST.

Most working class people are lucky to get a cost of living increase of 6-7%. The majority get none, or in the 3-4% range. If your gas or hydro company wanted to raise its prices by 12%, they would need approval to do so. It's a large increase now matter how you slice it.

PPV's are commercial free. However, they certainly are not "advertising free" and the 5 fight structure of the UFC blows. The first half hour (minimum) of the PPV consists of rehashing old footage of the participants, building up the drama, or suspense? Ummm...We've seen all the footage before, and we've purchased or are currently viewing the PPV. YOU HAVE US ALREADY! Show the damn fights! I don't need to see the same footage of so-and-so training/preparing, the exact same footage we've seen in the weeks building up to the event, on SPIKE.

If you don't want to pay the 12% increase, then do what I do. Go to the bar, enjoy a good meal with good friends, and enjoy yourself, or invite that extra guy over and take in the $5 difference. If you can't afford it or feel the urge to protest the increase, do so in your own way. Some will tell you that you are paying for the PPV if you go out and watch it at a bar anyway. Yes, I am spending money when I go out. However, I do have to eat dinner, I don't generally eat at home on a Saturday night anyway, and not 1 penny of my tab at the bar goes to the UFC.

And yes, I think a UFC PPV will be $50 or more by the end of 2008. With more advertising...

I agree with the bar.. if you have a sports bar close by and don't mind dealing with the armchair fighters its a good way to save some change.
