This is the my take as well, that often gets me in trouble. I just don't get the entitlement. Someone makes a movie, and gives you one option to view it. Permanently, once, for 2 years, whatever it is. Now you have the choice to watch it or not. Instead, people go into the negotiations with the starting assumption that they will consume the content, and it's up to the producer of the content to get them to pay for it. I don't get it.
- iforgotpassword 4y agoI think the underlying problem is that people assume that buying the movie means they own it like they own a DVD of a movie. Technically, a DVD also just grants you a license and doesn't "sell" you the actual movie, but you're holding the thing in your hand, and unless you physically break the DVD, you're guaranteed to be able to watch it forever, heck, you can pass it down to your grand-grand-children. I think it's only natural that people make the same assumption when it comes to buying a movie on a service like the PlayStation store. "Buying" ultimately means "owning that thing" to people. You can put all the legalese you want in the fine print, but it's flat out fucking bullshit to be frank. You shouldn't need to be a lawyer to understand what clicking the button labeled "buy now" really does.
