The MPAA can now turn up the heat and argue that there are viable legal options available, even though they will be offering an inferior DRM'd product.curzlgt wrote:I do agree that the major studios want to see this fail, just as the major lables wanted iTunes to fail....
Maybe. Then again, I think they might be excited about having the opportunity to charge the same amount of money for an inferior product and still be able to get away with cutting out some middlemen. They shouldn't be charging more than they charge retailers but apparently they don't agree.curzlgt wrote:Content, priceing, and fair use, will be the ultimate deciders for me.
I thought George W. Bush was the decider.
All in all, they're offering a crappy product.

mmh...ISP's probably will not charge any differently, mostly due to the fact that throttling is to relieve the backbone, not a argument over whether legal or not.

Do they even know what's going on with their customers? Will they ever actually think their decisions through logically?
Doubtful.
We don't want DRM. We don't want limitations. We want a fair product for a fair price, it's not too much to ask, after all we're the ones paying for this stuff.
Here's a personal example. Spenser For Hire, been wanting to watch it for ages, big fan. It's being shown on AOL'S In2Tv. Yippee! I thought. So I downloaded their software, set it all up, spent two hours downloading the content. Then it flashes, you can't watch this because you're not in the USA. I can't buy the series, can't watch it if I'm not in the USA. What else am I going to do but go to an illegal Chanel for downloading?
You guessed it. Straight to the news servers for a search.
These dinosaurs better start delivering what people are asking for, instead of what they think they can get away with.
