The biggest problem I have lately is that there is content that I would love to pay to watch, if I could only find it somewhere. For instance, I was thinking about some of the old History Channel shows that I used to watch 15-20 years ago, before it went all Hitler/Jesus/aliens/rednecks! Those have got to be out there somewhere, but damned if I can find them anywhere. Short of trying to track down DVD sets or hope that somebody out there is seeding a torrent of them, or maybe a non-taken-down Youtube upload, I don't know where to look. Certainly not on the official History Channel site. Same deal if I want to watch a non-classic old movie from the 30s-60s, or, say Loony Tunes cartoons. It is a little reminiscent of the problem with availability of books - anything that was published early enough that it is in the public domain (pre 1920ish) can be found and mirrored easily, and works published in the last 10-20 years is generally available, but there is a vast gulf in between where only the most notable or film-related works are easy to get ahold of. Of course it is worse, since there is so little film and television that isn't suppressed by Mickey Mouse IP law revisions.
