15 a month forc9 DVD is a sweet deal. Just at the rate people consume TV it's very slow. And thieves well that's an odd street. From radio to albums to 8 tract,cds, mp3s, how many times have we paid for our favorite albums. It is illegal to copy any of that stuff. But I and like most people ripped there cds and have them on a hard drive. No longer paying for the same music over and over. Video is the same now. So everything someone in my family buys a DVD I rip it add it to my server and we can watch it anytime anywhere. We bought it we should be able to watch it but nope what you bought was permission to watch it till the find a way to make you pay for it again. DVD to blu-ray to streaming. Now you can watch it anywhere anytime till they pull it. You finally dump what ever service you were paying for and go elsewhere and pay for stuff you all ready paid for. Now it gets goofy. So the artists who created this are not making what they were before all this transferring around. So to get more cash they sell there rights to there creations. And apple Netflix Disney ectcect buys those rights create new streaming services and if you want to see your favorite show you have to pay again.
Now I know all that is legal. But there comes a time you have to admit it's too much. I for one have bought the eagles greatest hits one to many times. I do have to say they only created it once I've paid for it well over a dozen times. Can't find firefly online anywhere. I did pay for it my DVD player is ģone so I can't play my DVD. So I ripped it and watch it when I want to. That's illegal. Sometimes laws are not completely right. If you steal something you do not own and sell it that's a crime. As it should be. But if you own it and the people who sold you it says you only bought the right to watch it once by yourself in a dark room. And seeing its typed on the cover makes it legal. It does not make it right. And making the delivery system obsolete so you have to repurchase there stuff it double dipping. Yea its legal but greedy. It's a mess isn't it.
And let's face it pirating has done the same from taping off the radio dubbing your friends tapes audio or visual to downloading fron torrent sites. I forgot about add skipping now that is legal but if you pirate a TV show without adds that airs freely over the air that's illegal.
One thing about the past if you're favorite show was on at 7 pm everybody had to be there to watch it an old fashion family night. That's kinda gone now
