Re: Follow the money

Don't you think people should be paid for their work occasionally?

No question. So why is it so damned hard to actually buy or rent so much content? It's astonishing how much of our media history has entirely disappeared since streaming took over.

Aside from the ridiculous assumption that I would pay monthly subscriptions to a dozen or more streaming services just because they've carved up the catalogue into as many pieces.

I would happily pay $50 a month for one iTunes like service that would draw on everyone's catalogues instead of wasting time on wild goose chases for well known films that should be easily accessible.

So, as others have said, make it easy to give my money to you, for things I actually want to watch. Otherwise just accept that the Pirate Bay is thriving for a reason.
