Isn’t the actual problem still nonsensical anti piracy DRM/requirements pushed by studios and that any distributor will have to try to implement to sell the movie in the first place?
I’m not justifying the absolutely garbage user experience here though.
Personally: I refuse to buy digital movies on any platform because it’s deceptive marketing. You can never actually “buy”, only rent. So I go for that option if I really have to. If pirating is easier than paying (which on appletv is just one click) then you have failed and I will rather pirate it instead.
- jonathanlydall 4y agoI would be far more inclined to pay to watch recently released movies on iTunes, except that for the first few weeks the considerably more expensive “buying” the movies is the only option and rental only comes much later, essentially they want to charge you extra for earlier access. Screw that, I’ll pirate instead until they stop that crap.
