| Its doomed cause morons don't make it right.
Most people would not mind paying a small fee to watch movies online or buy them online if they moron big wigs would actually stop restricting content.
Pay for a movie with a cheap fee that BEATS retail pricing, download it and play it. viola i just made a billion dollars. How is this hard to figure out? lol
Instead you got these dumb places that offer a handful of movies with DRM restrictions, want you to use there own software, poor buggy webpages/software, terrible support, and to top it all off..No bandwidth to supply the movies fast enough.
Is it any wonder people pirate movies, downloaded hundreds of movies over course of last year to watch or watch later. I would of gladly gave SOMEONE money if they would of offered a service that customers want and not what THEY want. | |

| Give those fat cat moguls an inch and they will eventually figure out a way to suck down your bank account. People a long time ago paid for cable because it didnt have annoying commercials, it was only $20 and it was worth the commertial free treat. But they couldn't resist the urge to harvest a second revenue stream so now that they have their audience addicted, they increased rates, added commertials, and invented this new concept called pay-per-view. Its the same way with gas prices right now. We are hooked on gas and the oil companies are jacking with the prices till our eyes bug out. And to keep them at record levels, all they need are fully insured refinery mishaps at regular intervals and the rapeing will go on indefinitely. A few years back, they stuck it to Californians with their electric bills after they conned government officials to deregulate them. People everywhere else have never seen an electric bill anywhere near what Californians had to pay down. And it was all crocked price fixing.
If the entertainment industry could get their way, free traditional TV and radio would be scrapped in lue of subscription and pay-per-view. Now that analog TV is being phased out, digital control of individual viewers is within their grasp. If they could only kill off all the p2p content that is spreading, they could then escalate the priceing and control of content world wide with their new digital interactive controls. p2p is the chains holding back the corporate monster. If it figures out a way to break free from those chains, our addiction to entertainment will cost us just as dearly as our addiction to energy useage. | |
