Piracy comes with its own set of hassles. What's the video quality? What language(s) does it have? How fast can you download it? How many seeds and other peers are there? What's your upload bandwidth? Does your firewall allow others to connect to you?
The amazing thing about DRM is that it manages to be even less convenient. People would pay for a simple just-download-the-high-quality-file system.
- nop 17y agoQuality is largely based upon how slow you want to download, what hits the stores and is somewhat popular tends to get up online. Private trackers have most of the others solved as they tend to (always?) revolve around a seed to download ratio system where friends of mine have no problems filling their 100mbit connections. I agree with your points though, a centralized no-hassle store has benefits over having to sort through public trackers it would be more convenient. Unless pirates start getting really good at social filtering.
- sketerpot 17y agoPrivate trackers are nice, but their selection tends to be kind of limited, which is why I've never used one for more than a week or so.
