    "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" - Gabe Newell

    This quote is relevant far too often

    Kind of. But when Amazon has the option to rent a movie for $3, and all I have to do is click that button and it will stream instantly, I still NEVER click that button. It's not really a service issue, because it's available instantly at just the click of a button.

    It's more of a principal issue. Like why the fuck am I paying all this money for all these streaming services and you still want to charge me even more? Makes piracy an easy choice.

    I still see it as a service issue. I can only watch it once or for a very short time. That's not the service I'm looking for.

    I don't even need hard copies, just give me the ability to buy a DRMless file I can run on any of my devices for a fair price. I don't even necessarily need to be able to download it again in the future if that makes it cheaper. I can back my shit up myself.
