> Does this tell us people will do anything to save a bit of cash? No. It’s telling us that people will do almost anything to get same-day releases – and that they’re willing to both pay wads of cash and break the law at the same time to get them. I'm not sure that that's the correct lesson to learn here. If anything same-day delivery only applies to the most popular shows. And even then it's not a guarantee. And even if it does show up you still have to wait for it to finish downloading, which may take more than a day if you have a slower internet connection. So, what's the real takeaway? I think it's that users will do almost anything to have physical control over content. Having your favorite movies and TV shows and music on a hard-drive that you own is well worth the cost and the time-investment for a huge number of people.
