The system is changing. Eventually, steaming will be more popular than actually playing a physical DVD. The delivery method for all these things will progress.
I personally do not want to ever buy another physical DVD / BluRay again. I want it as a digital file that can be stored on my media server and played on any TV or Device of my choosing. Renting is good for some, but some I want to purchase and I want it at a price that is reasonable and considerably cheaper than a physical Disc and $14.99 is not it.
So it is OK for me to "borrow" a disc and rip it to my server or get a bootlegged copy through download or media because they are not currently meeting my needs? No, its not. I just need to be patient for them to provide me THEIR material in a way I want at a price point I am willing to pay.
I think what will eventually happen to music and movies are those at the core of making it will distribute it themselves. The electronic distribution channel is easy enough and the internet is vast enough that it will allow them to manage their own content and collect their own paychecks for doing such. |

Those words have truth to them. How many times can you watch the same movie? And if you do buy it, they release the Uncut version, the Director's Cut, the Extended, Uncut, Director's Cut. The Extended, Director's Cut in BluRay. The Collector's Edition in BluRay....
No. I realized that there is no return value purchasing the movie when you now can turn on a Netflix-enabled device (PS3, Xbox, BluRay, Roku,...) and see that entire library you have, mirrored on Netflix.
Those VHS tapes are where? Those DVDs are soon to be where? And BluRay...
but alot of what we aren't seeing are the studios wanting more money. Take a look at the Sony store of titles that you might not see on the Xbox Live store. Or that I've been waiting (VERY LONG WAIT) for Inglorious Basterds and had it in the queue since October! (yes, Dec release but still I had it there early).
If netflix doens't get some pull in titles (I can live with 14 days after DVD release but more than 30 days and I lose interest or as friends do, watch it elsewhere, likely on someone else's server or burned disc).
I wonder why Hollywood hasn't sucked up places like Netflix, Redbox and Gamefly. Then they would have new distribution model and control.
Oh that's right, they are sleezy, greedy idiots ...  |

If the RIAA got its head out of its ass, they would've offered .mp3's for sale back in 2000 and totally destroyed Napster but they CHOSE not to!!!
If these studios won't offer me what I want for a price then yes I will take it. |
