It's interesting that the studios want to keep their 30 day window to protect DVD sales, as pointless as that may be. That just gives video pirates 30 days to rip a DVD and distribute it on-line for free! :)Ditto ditto ditto. Couldn't have said it better myself.

To boot: the ripped copy will probably be a high quality HD bluray, whereas the Netflix will be some lower hollywood/bandwidth-specified tier and may not even be the best available even if your bandwidth and computer could handle it and it was originally mastered at higher quality.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-24602220 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 00:32:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-24597034
Considering I'm seeing months of "long waits" for new releases that were 30 day delayed, Netflix's plans failed. That or they were just blowing smoke in their press releases.

Of course, I'm the type that can wait for movies I want to see, and have more than I can watch with all the British TV comedy and mystery series available for streaming. [MI-5, Inspector Morse, etc.].

If that $10 mo. was a problem, I could drop a cable digital tier that I have now [to see one channel out of 30 junk ones]. Plus free on-demand on my cable service is worthless as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-24596677 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:29:48 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-24596019
They just want to protect their dying business model which is based on charging people many times for the same content in different formats.

First they charge you $10/ticket in the theatre. Then $10 to PPV in a hotel. Then $5 to PPV on cable/dish. Then they charge you $20 to buy it on DVD. Then they will want to charge you $30 to buy it on Blue-Ray or $1-2 for a netflix- rental after your DVD gets scratched or you want to just see if Blue-Ray is worth it.

Yes, actually I am a network engineer. Why don't you have a cup of coffee and make sure my HBO is working and I'll worry about getting my cable modem and my router connected.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Interesting-24596019 Fri, 30 Jul 2010 12:27:57 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Interesting-24595934 --
