I wanted to watch Fellowship of the Ring recently. Would've been happy renting it, but the cheapest streaming option available to me was to "buy" it from Amazon for $10. This infuriated me so much that it almost drove me back to piracy, but I eventually caved and paid the $10. It's LOTR, of course I'll want to watch it again.
I immediately felt a deep shame, like I was the biggest sucker on the planet. But I thought to myself, what was the alternative? Buy the friggin BluRay? I don't want a pile of plastic boxes like it's the 00s and I don't have a player anyway. I just want THE FILE . IN FULL HD. Not the right to stream the file from Amazon's servers when I happen to have a good connection and a device with their App. Just the video file please. This article is spot on.
