Why There's No iTunes For Movies

Posted by timothy on from the farhad-tells-all dept.

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.

    and I don't need to hear your theories about why owning a truck makes me a trendy redneck asshat. Some people buy trucks because they're remodeling their house and can't fit lumber and sheetrock in their geo prizm.

    I double checked and I don't believe I mentioned rednecks, trendy or otherwise, asshats, or geo prizms. Perhaps you are confusing myself with the past conversations you've had where people spout such things. Judging from your response, however, I can hardly disagree with the conclusion of you being a trendy redneck asshat.

    And yes, most consumers don't know what they are buying, what they want or why they want it. Thank you for understanding the original point of my message.
