I wish I could just pay these companies for the right to download whatever I wanted. Bittorrent solves the storage and transmission issue for them and lets me download movies from the 1980's that nobody (apple, amazon, netflix) have in their inventory.

Movies and music are more than simply products, they are part of our culture. Nobody would argue that they shouldn't make money from it, because we want them to succeed and do it again. But what we don't like is getting fucked over, and thats basically their business.

There was some disney show a friend of mine wanted to watch with his kids, which was classically available via amazon prime. But then it became the holidays, and disney pulled it from prime so now he had to pay to watch it. It's the same song and dance with netflix, who is at the mercy of the licensing of media companies who decide how much to charge for the license, and if they want to license it at all to them.

It's an exploration of bullshit and greed.
