I absolutely agree on the rental risk factor. It discourages discovery of new things. In addition to that, the rental terms on these services suck. Here's an example: A month ago, my wife and I rented Casino from Amazon Prime for like $3 or whatever. It is a long movie, so we paused half way through with a plan to finish it the next day. The next evening rolls around and we discover we only had 24 hours to finish it once we had started it. We just paid again cause its only $3, but also resolved to never rent from Amazon Prime again. These systems are a worse experience than pirating. It doesn't have to be that way.
