i understand your ethical argument, but i still fail to see the practical usefulness. easy beats free. piracy/copyright infringement means free. you want to get people pay for something - you can't do this by optimizing the payment method. who really gives a crap about that outside of the techies who build that stuff? example: first one to make tv episodes globally simultaneously available, with local ads embedded or whatever will win over piracy. just look at the most popular torrents on pirate bay, etc - how i met your mother, etc. itunes (as an example, same goes for netflix, hulu, amazon,...) is broken in that regards. non-us credit card and/or IP address? you're fucked. welcome to being a third-rate customer. well, fuck you then, pirate bay it is. movies, series, even apps are being restricted. even though the fucking majority of people (consumer!!) live outside the US.
