Tv-swarm.com closed permanently.

Yet another excellent torrent site with TV episodes was closed down today by it's operators. They mention that judging from the latest happenings in the torrent scene they don't want to get shut down by the MPAA ( or any other association for that matter ) and get sued afterwards like lokitorrent and co.
These news make my day all the more miserable. In my country we rarely ever get good US TV shows, not to mention that we get them about 2 to 3 years later. So far I found comfort in downloading my favorite shows and after the season ended I bought them on DVD. While there are still some sites that share episodes my belief is that they will go down along with the bunch.
I so wish there could be some way of purchasing those episodes for a reasonable price since I don't want to get left behind only because I live in a far fetched European country. If the studios are reading this consider coming up with a solution fast. Instead of suing people charge them a minimal fee and milk them of their precious salaries if they are willing to pay for their entertainment instead of waiting some 2 years to watch a tv show for free on their over the air TV.
