(1) Windows / IE only. Sorry, I use Gentoo Linux as my operating system, and Firefox / Elinks as my browser. (2) 200 availability. I can get any film ever made, and for free! (3) DRM crippled. I can get the same films without any DRM and for free!! Dear MPAA / Hollywood, It's clear you have a collective IQ of 0.1. Which is fine for me, as i'm having a great time watching every movie ever made, for free!!!, without restriction, in high quality. Oh did i mention that i get them all for free!!! muhahaha. MPAA / RIAA can kiss my arse. Hmm, lets go through the check list.

But yet the "big" guys dont have a easy "donate" system, witch is the biggest problem after their greed and monopoly problem.. record companies are dead, they should reform and offer great donate systems and sites where we "pirates" can donate to the ones we like! thats the way to the future, and i expect to see a main donate site soon after record companies realize their war isnt working and costing them, their customers and their clients more then it pays off.. Copyright laws need change to support this, thats why there are "piracy" organisations trying to gain political power, thats why in protest more and more gets released and downloaded, copyright laws need a seperate law for virtual property to allow free distrubution yet stop real pirates reselling for profits and other organisations/artists etc copying the work, Intellectual property needs changing aswell. 1-2 days wait vs 20 minutes wait, torrent owns them all.. if only movie makers and music makers set up “paypals” so one can legalize the “pirating” everything would be awesome.

Customers are voting with their wallets on what is acceptable. On line offers will continue to crater until they get it right. Offer what the customer doesn't want and he will prove just how much the customer is still king. They have only recently awaken to the idea that DRM in spite of all the sugar coated words about it's benefits isn't a restriction that the public is willing to accept. Preventing the playing of a purchase because you don't have the right model player or software isn't floating at all. Then the idea that less is more and jacking up the price because they don't have to pay extra for the DRM license and trying to convence the public it's worth more because of that isn't floating any better than high digital prices for low quality lossy mp3s are. Rip offs are plainly seen for what they are. These idiots can't crater soon enough for my tastes. The media companies are under the delusion that restrictions will be ok with the customers.
