I discovered "Popcorn Time" last week (for those who don't know, it's like Netflix but free) and even as much as I hate Hollywood, I do feel they deserve some compensation for their product. Without compensation, they can't keep churning out product now, can they?
It seems to me the solution is simple: Encode the movie with some kind of a tag to run a commercial before and after the movie and banners reasonably throughout the movie. The amount charged for the ad would depend on how recent the movie is. Charge extra to remove banners and commercials.
Sounds simple to me.
