"LOST" question - ho'ard - 02-09-2006
I burned through the first season on DVD stupidly thinking they were past the third season and I could just grab the second and continue on (good stuff-- wish I'd have paced myself). An eBay search made me realize that the 2nd season is not yet commercially available (partly due to it still being in progress).
Question-- since this is basically "free" programming (as opposed to cable fare) what is the legality of "sharing"?
Thanks!

I don't know the answer to your question, but you should be aware of another option;
iTMS carries LOST...
I'm in a self-imposed spending freeze this month, but next month I plan to purchase Season 2 of LOST via iTMS.

Will season 2 be complete by then?
Is it 99¢ an episode?
Can it be viewed in decent quality on a real mac?
Thanks.

Illegal, but as sins go, it seems pretty minor, considering that most people have access to it, and could just record it...
Re: "LOST" question - Paul F. - 02-09-2006
I don't know, but I plan on watching season 2 slower than I slammed through season 1 from netflix... so by the time I reach the end, it may be.
I believe so, but haven't verified it.
That is my impression, but again, I have not yet verified it due to my "spending freeze".

$1.99 per episode.... Not exactly a bargain - but when I missed an episode, I found $1.99 a price I was willing to pay.
We went through season one via rentals... sweet having it without commercials and without the time gaps (the big ones with 3 reruns in the middle expecially)...
Watching it on TV is still good - but notice how slow they lead you along.
next week's episode ought to be interesting or find out that stupid thing is just that.

Is there a mod responsible for deleting spoilers before they detonate?
Dopey? Sneezy? . . .

There are a couple of free iTunes videos available, you can check the quality that way.
They look darn good to me.

Re: "LOST" question - ho'ard - 02-09-2006
So, is there really no way to bu the episodes one by one?
And, how does that work again-- if I purchase on one mac can I d/l to another? Or can I re-download to a second?
Thx. . .
BGR, can I expect the format and quality of the show to be the same as these samples?
