Thanks for speaking for the people. Guys, the people have spoken... Seriously, do you know how downloads on networks like xbox live work? You download a game/movie/whatever and you own it. When you come home and find your xbox 360 RRod-ing you go and buy another one. Recover your account tag and everything you downloaded is still there, free, waiting for you to download it again. You own it after you paid for it... This topic is not talking about some illegal torrent movie downloads but a proper pay to play service. Besides, there are many more people living in the real world outside this site, who want to see a movie, enjoy it and then never watch it again. If a service has the ability to start downloading the movie and let you watch it while it downloads, you could be watching an 720p movie within 30 minutes of starting the download with an average interenet connection here in Canada(500K/second). Way more convinient than renting or buying movies. Cheaper as well as no physical materials are wasted. |
If I own something then I should be able sell it to other people if I don't want it anymore. If I can't sell it away then it's only renting, not owning.
