| why doesn't the industry try
Why doesn't the **AA's try and give the consumer what they want, that is high quality rips at reasonable prices, at good fast speeds? Speaking as someone who has downloaded television shows via p2p methods, I can say exactly why I download them that way.
Firstly, I get them fairly fast, and if I download via usenet servers, I can always max my 10mbit downstream pipe. Secondly, I live on the west coast, and in some cases, I've been able to watch my favorite show before it airs locally here, which to me is kind of neat to be able to do.
If the **AA's offered decently priced downloads that were of good quality, and downloadable from multiple servers, where you the end user could download at your max connection speed, I could see a very good situation for both sides. The consumer pays a reasonable price and gets good fast download ability of whatever they want, and the industry gets tons of customers and money as a result of offering what consumers want. Many of us that download via torrent or usenet in many cases do it because of the speedy nature which our files come in at. And of course we can put the files where we want. That's all there is to it. so why won't the RIAA and MPAA realize this and instead of trying to be so hell bent on restricting what we do with content we love, give it to us in a way we the consumer want it! Simple solution, just try it and see what happens! You may be amazed at the result1 |
