just a quick question,surely the companies that made the film woudnt want to support this because woudnt they get far less money out of it,or is that how it works?


This question is an interesting one as with the rise of the on demand services such as the iPlayer the service providers have been insisting that somebody should pay for this bandwidth and in the case of the iPlayer it should be the content supplier. This widescale introduction of a service like this will only add fuel to this argument. Couple this with network shaping by the service providers and the increasing resentment at least in the UK of having their bandwidth shaped and you have a lively debate.

 

Better to make some money from advertising and lesser fees than get nothing from rampant piracy.  My music needs are satisfied with Vidzone and Spotify hopefully something similar will happen with movies.

The funny thing is my ISP would throttle my speed by half if if used this but I could torrent it overnight with no restriction.
