interesting article.

i reckon you would find most people would pay for tv and films if they were not tied to a streaming service, itunes or some other software/device required to play it. If they released them same quality for small size and you could play it in plex, vlc, on phone/pc etc.. they would get many dollars

I'd say the development in recent years shows the exact opposite. More people are paying for music and movies BECAUSE they are part of one convenient streaming package. The rapid success of Netflix and Spotify show that there was strong demand for easy and convenient access to a lot of content available on any device.

Convenience is valued a lot more than quality.

Yer but the issue for me is they fight for rights. So you need a few packages and you also need to be on the internet. I am old school i buy my movies and tv shows. I would gladly switch to digital if I could add it to my server and play it how I want it.

It is liek the BluRays you buy that have a digital movie code. I added a few to the service that was offered. Then that service closed down and wanted ot me transfer to another service. For someoen who is busy and travels for work I need it to be storable and work with whatever i have on me at the time.

Spotify I have no issue with as music is generlaly small files, so you can sync them in offline mod your fav tunes. HD movies is a little different with mobile phone space lol.
