[QUOTE="MaxKaladin, post: 2517605, member: 1196"] You know, I don't want "on demand". I want portable. I don't want to be dependant on being connected to someone's network or server or anything like that. I don't want to have to worry about registering computers. I don't want to have to own special technology like this "blue ray" needs. I don't want to have to jump through any hoops to be able to use what I've paid for. I want to be able to move it around without hassle. I want to watch movies on portable devices. I want to take my mp3s to work and have them in an mp3 player and I don't want to have to go though a bunch of extra steps to do it. I know "the industry" doesn't want this. They want to restrict as much as possible and to suck the maximum money out of everyone. They want to control everything. I think they fantasize about a day when they can charge for every viewing by the viewer with extra charges for pausing, fast-forwarding and rewinding. I'm sure they'll keep pushing at it until the day (hopefully soon) that people have had enough and won't take any more. Frankly, I think they can go jump in a lake. I want convenience and I'm not going to sign on until I have no other legal way of obtaining media. I'm annoyed enough about not being able to fast forward past previews on DVDs now and I'm certainly not going to buy anything that further restricts my ability to use what I've paid for until I have no other choice.
