It has now been discovered that the Amazon program used to get these movies with is loaded with phone-homes that call home far more than is necessary. This makes this no bargain whatever and further lowers my opinion of this type of offer.

So much for “AWESOME”…

As long as DRM is included in the product, it isn’t worth more than 50¢ at best. That might be too high a price for what I would be willing to pay for DRM infected material.

Limited time “values” are just that. At some point they will attempt to charge the real price after they have enough suckers.

This DRM prevents resale or transferring said product to how I would use it in my lifestyle. The idea that they want paid for every reuse in application form is just beyond my comprehension. I ceased to purchase any cd, dvd, movie, song, from the major cartels with the start of sue’em all. I will continue that as long as I am not satisfied with the product. I don’t buy what I don’t like nor do I support those whose business practices I disagree with.

No matter how it is painted into the “great deal” with hype doesn’t change that a pig’s ear is still not a silk purse. There is extremely little that I care for anymore in TV and movies. I no longer buy premium cable, nor have cable, same for satellite. The garbage that is passing for entertainment often leaves me dumbfounded as to where the entertainment value is. Sticoms hold no appeal, reality shows are anything but reality and far less than entertaining, and the majority of the movies aren’t worth the time it wastes to view them. Replay 3/4 of the month doesn’t turn it into a value either. If I am not getting my money’s worth, I won’t spend it for that product and that’s where the entertainment industry is today.

I don’t know why everyone isn’t happy,
250M average, 600M peak encoding
One free download per account
One click DRM removal with FairUse4WM (Supplied seperately)

Sure, the selection is lacking and the bandwidth isn’t as good as some torrent sites, but still, it’s a very worthy first effort.

“It doesn’t say what’ll happen if someone tries to play a movie they’ve paid through the nose for on three PCs, say, or three mobiles.”

In this event the Digital Restrictions Malware bundled with the .wmv Video will automaticly phone home to the MAFIAA and 30 minutes later the trusted computer rapid reaction force will ring your doorbell like in this Public Service Announcement:

Hollywood surely has enough money to run some sort of trial selling DRM-free downloads, just to see what happens. If they do end up losing loads of money through people misusing the files, then I guess they’ll just have to try something else. But one thing is clear: CONSUMERS DON’T LIKE DRM.
