Why There's No iTunes For Movies
theodp writes "Slate's Farhad Manjoo would gladly pay a hefty monthly fee for immediate access to recent movies and TV shows — if someone would just take his money. In reality, he pays nothing because no company sells such a plan, and instead resorts to getting his programming from the friendly BitTorrent network.
In school, we had a trademark infringement lawyer come speak to us during computer science telling us how bad it was to illegally download music movies and such. But now as I read this, since there is no where to buy these movies piracy seems like the only option.
I'm glad Slashdot is here to educate me.

Apparently some recent movies have started to include something called a "sound track". Bad idea, if you ask me, taking away jobs from hard-working organists.
That's ridiculous! Next, you'll be saying bands should sell their cd right at the concert. Oh ...
And think of all the parents who would have to buy the movie right then because their kids are screaming, "We want it now, we want it now, we want it now!!!"
wow spineless parents. That explains a lot about society today.
the correct answer to "we want it now" is... "Hows it feel to want?"
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
People pick their Presidents and their cars the same way now.
How did you know I just bought a black car?
That's not true... I don't pick my car based on how tall it is.
