1. I refuse to pay for premium Comcast at 2x the price of my very nice Internet connection just to get one channel.
2. I am very happy to pay $8/mo to Netflix.
3. I'm also very happy to buy LOTS of physical media; I own over 600 titles on DVD or Blu-Ray, and counting. Many of these titles, I have bought two, three, or even four times in different contexts (DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes, etc.)
4. I'm also happy to pay for all of HBO, even though I don't really want to watch all of HBO.
I just don't want to give money to my local cable monopoly, a lot of money, when I only want about 3% of the content they insist on bundling together.

I really don't think I'm the bad guy here.
