1. Watching movies legally is more of a hassle than not.
2. The cost is not the prohibitive factor for me. The hassle, slash near-complete inability to purchase them in Linux is.
3. This article is a discussion of making movies available, legally, with a monetary exchange, if they were made more accessible to a wider audience.
4. Everyone wins by me being able to watch movies legally. Movie associations receive more income, I don't violate the law, and everyone is a tiny bit happier.
Considering that this article is about making movies more accessible for the exchange of money... how exactly are my observations not contributing to the discussion?
Call it entitlement or whatever you want, but as I'm sitting here, I'm kinda bemused by the notion that I'm expected to just not have any access to cost-based media because I'm a Linux user. I know I have no "right" to it, but again, I'm sitting here saying I'm willing to pay, and the industry is ignoring me.
From a purely business perspective, that makes NO sense.
