Have you found a torrent of something that's too good to exist? Leave it alone.

You have to wonder if the creator, in the process of gathering 18 GB of malware to package and building the installer, asked himself if it was even worth bothering because SURELY no one is that dumb.
Those are glaringly obvious, and yet they exist. Meaning people actually fall for it, or they'd cease to exist.
Also, ew, no, Wiis? How are we ever going to sell these Wii Us with all those Wiis sitting around?
They know for a fact that there are people that dumb. If someone is dumb enough to go on a games official forum and ask for help getting their cracked game to run, and they have numerous times, then they're dumb enough to go "Oh the PC version of GTAV I've got to get that!"
I've learned the hard way, never ever underestimate the stupidity of your fellow man. Because just when you think you've seen the best of the worst, someone out does them and makes it look easy in the process.
I assumed PBS being gold-required had more to with Microsoft deciding that watching TV on Live is a gold service. Are there any streaming video services available at Silver level?
And I'm sure someone somewhere at PBS is hoping that maybe, just maybe someone will accidentally click on the PBS icon and maybe, just maybe decided that it's good enough to donate $5 for when the next "and you get this nice tote bag!" drive comes around.
As the BBC is a publically funded service, under the terms of their charter, they're not legally allowed to lock any of their content behind any paywall from British viewers. The fact that the PS3 had iPlayer for so long (due to any PS3 owner having access to streaming video for no additional fee) was a massive selling point in PS3's favour over here, until MS bowed to the pressure and allowed BBC streaming content with a Silver account.
Careful what you wish for; you can't reformat your brain.
I don't know the details of the deal between Microsoft and PBS, but it could be that PBS gets money based on what people watch. In which case this could mean a good bit of money for them. Especially considering the depth of educational programming PBS has and the popularity of it with parents.
Not with those markups ...
