I just gave them the URL of me singing MPAA to the tune of YMCA in the nude. Very artistic, and I'm sure when they see the energy available in the so-called 'morbidly obese' population they will see where all their innovation originates.
it still doesn't matter. If the content is available for a price, people will pirate it.
So what, you have more money coming in that you are tossing away by doing nothing. Gain is gain.
If you make it freely available, you have given in entirely.
Broadcast TV, Advertising, Radio Station Payola give 50+ years of 'Teh Lie' to that.
Your idea is wonderful, and would require a DRM to assure it works properly. But the freetards hate DRM in any manner, which means we aren't able to go in that direction.
DRM issues are always restrictions of use, usually due to failures of the DRM method. Key servers lose contact, software interacts improperly with other software or malicious software in a system. Get a DRM that actually allows AT LEAST proper use of the D in the RM and you will see a lot of that hostility go away. In the meantime we will sit here and glare at our Celine Dion CD's and Settlers of Caatan desktops.
As soon as there is any restriction, the result is piracy. The only solution to piracy is not tolerating restrictions.
FTFY. Had you never saw the mention on this website about
a nearly unknown site called NETFLIX. They seem to use a little bandwidth as they offer LEGAL use of movies and TV in a handy convenient form. I guess they don't charge- what? they do? monthly fee? Huh. Wow.
Can I use NETFLIX and wear a patch? I can! Yarrrr Gleeeee!
Well it's all God's fault, he invented sex. "Go forth and Multiply." He forgot to expressly say "After you are married to someone of a different gender in a state and 'church' sanctioned ceremony and make sure my spokespeople get their cut of the profits."
That's what you get from lazy programming tho.
What is the big scare story with ISP's? OMG Netflix is gonna glom up all our intertubes. "20% of all bandwidth going to Netflix". (not a direct quote find your own citation Jim.)
Netflix isn't free, people pay. What are they paying for, timeshifting of the product, easy low cost one time (or a few times) access, delivery to them NOW (timeshifting would be collecting all the eps of a season into one session).
So, demand, money, legality. All there. MMORPG's, facebook, online porn are or will build the infrastructure. Networks made money when homes had 3 channels and a 50 mile at best pickup. Now I could get a tv show live from Japan if I wish in Nova Scotia for the same cost of a TV station down the street. Yet, I can't get a ball game one state over due to blackout rules, guess I'll watch a Japanese girl cook yogurt in a bikini and a ducks head.
Why can't I? Lawyers and 'business models'. Put content out, give me a way to pay, and let me give you money. It would work for MLB it would work for Jerry Bruckheimer. Oh and by the way, Jerry Bruckheimer has had plenty of flops too-he just keeps going.
