Yes you can buy video from Amazon and stream it in a browser, ios/android app, roku player, and any number of smart tvs and blu-ray players with less limited control than iTunes offers over playing video
A constitutional republic is a type of democratic government. A direct democracy is not the only democracy. When the average person says 'democracy', they are merely referring to the fact that the citizens vote to elect their leaders. Now quit being a douche, pack up your semantics, and kindly fuck off.
I still use the iPad for some things (still the best way to get digital copies of films
trolling for sure. blu-ray is currently the best way to get digital copies of films, in terms of video and audio quality anyways, which is the entire point of having it.
furthermore, with the right tools and a middle-finger to the DMCA, you can put that film on damn near any device you want.
how is locking it to iproducts a better way?
This is precisely why availability should be a qualifier to being protected.
There is no logical reason why anything, in this digital age, should ever go out of print.
Not proud of it (i.e. George Lucas and the Star Wars Holiday Special)? Tough shit. Wash your hands of it by releasing it into the public domain.
Don't think it's worth the cost of pressing the discs? Fine. Sell me the fucking.iso and covers to print, but at a reasonable price, as you weren't going to sell it anyways.
i'd wager that most rap artists have always had way more white fans than blacks fans. if it wasn't for all those white kids buying it, it'd never have gotten so mainstream.
while my details may not be exact, it goes something like this:
the biggest reason they are losing money is because they are the ONLY government agency that has to fill its retirement coffers for the next ~75 years,
you know, including people not yet born. i believe they were given ~10 years to do this. other than that, they've been pretty much self-sufficient.
Any argument made that says DRM is completely necessary for video MUST also be true for music or books.
We already know that is not true.
Video is not some special magical thing that needs different protection. IP is IP is IP. End of story.
$50k? Seems legit. Looks like the medical industry can be on the other side of the gouging for once. Seriously, idiots think they get a deal when their insurance brings the $200 hopsital gown down to $100, even though it can be had online for $10. Fuck the chargemasters.
Who is paying $20 for blu-rays? Of my 99, over 75% were $10 or less, the rest were all under $20*. Maybe a handful were used. Plenty contain additional dvd versions that I can either sell, barter or give away**. Then again, I suppose someone has to be buying those $22.99 [and not even newly released] discs at Barnes & Noble.
* Box sets are broken down into individual price points. For example, Indiana Jones @ $75 on release day, is, with the fourth movie's negative culture value aside, $18.75 per film.
** While it does seem that selling the digital copy codes has been squashed, doing the same with the dvds only might be legit?

The use of soft porn is a surefire tell that something is amiss.
Where do you draw the line? Perhaps there should be a vote?
easy, just come up with equally ridiculous needs. the sight of suits/ties makes me psychotic, for example.
obviously, it would depend on the gender of the unicorn
pretty sure the blame would fall on them(netflix) and not you. if target/walmart/etc sold you stolen goods, you wouldn't be held accountable.
Obama is pushing to make streaming copyrighted material, of which you are not the holder, a FELONY. Have fun with your "hope and change".

what if you made a biographical game?
well 3 would be fine. plus they can go back to including one of them with the console, for zero more dollars.
Surprised netflix hasn't just started renting games. They'd kill off gamefly in a heartbeat.
seriously, why limit them at all? surely it'd make tons of money and likely not add to much more effort to maintain.

MP3's being compressed, are pretty vulnerable to bitrot.
wtf?
Ah, time. Man's cruelest construct.
Were opposing-side families covered by the constitution? Different government and all...

it's a shame that most of the good-for-you foods only get (if any at all) a smidgeon of the amount of subsidies going into corn, wheat, and rice.
