Can someone please 'splain this to me....
"This whole thing is costing them nothing," Winkler said. "Whatever legal fees they are running up is just being passed back to the U.S. government," he said.
Why?! The company got pwnd....The company lost Secret info....The company does something silly to try and cover their @ss, and now we pay for it?....Whhhhhhhhhhhy?
Techcrunch lead me to Silicon Valley Documentary, it was offered by a service that did not put any DRM on the file(they used a 5 second pre-roll with my name on it and some sort of watermarking by deleting specific bits in the movie).
Long story short, I paid $8 for the movie file (730X400 Mp4) and watched the movie. I liked it so much I wanted to share it with my buddy. I could have easily FTP'd it to him, but I didn't....instead I sent him $8 via paypal (8.24 exactly...damn them and their 3%) to get the file himself and he did.
Moral of the story, the content producer gave me something I wanted at a reasonable price without trying to limit how, when, where and on what I watch it, I turn have no desire to P2P this...instead I promote it to my friends and tell them where they can get it themselves.
