So many right now are scared of 'teh piratz' that they want to create their own separate playgrounds instead of putting their stuff on Netflix/hulu/etc. The best system might eventually be a combo of pay-per-view like Amazon's non-Prime services for new stuff, and a flat-rate charge to get anything from a library, where you put movies after, say, two years when you've wrung all possible cash you can from them.MY future of watching stuff at home would be something like that. Some movies are pay-as-you-go for two years, others get put directly into the flat-rate zone (say, most indie/foreign films).  Region and country of origin would disappear as a barrier. All visual media would be available from a global service, so if I want to watch tons of, say, German soap operas, then I can.</blockquote>
