EFF Told to "Shut the Hell Up" About SOPA

No but when they make it to amazon, they shouldn't make you try to buy it first to stream it badly (amazon) at 720p for 20 dollars which is more than buying a bluray at walmart for 6 months and then when you're just about 'over it' and now you dont' even want to see it anymore, it's available to rent for 5.99 for 24 hours, which breaks the traditional model of paying something like 3.99-4.99 for a few days of physical rental people are used to. Sure you don't have late fees, but if something comes up and you have to split, what are you going to miss work so you can finish it in the morning? No you end up buying it again.

What I"m saying is that the movie industry has created a very fucksome model for streaming that doesn't work for anyone. No consumer is happy. Meanwhile, nearly all consumers are lined up to throw massive amounts of their money at Netflix, because they know it's good, reliable, even necessary. We'd pay 3x what netflix charges if they got better stuff more often and had a bigger library, but the holdout are these fucky ass studios that think their content is worth more than it is. (it's not). (no really, it's really not...certainly not 19.99 for 90 min of film...when compared to TV that's 1.99 for 30 min, that's 6 dollars to own the same amount of minutes. And these days TV is just as good production quality in terms of overall presentation (story/actors/film) as movies, sometimes better (breaking bad, american horror story, walking dead, etc) so they really are creating an artificial and unworkable thing.

I truly believe if they didn't do this heavy handed crap people would actually be glad to pay them what they are worth. But 400% inflation is a bit much.
