Exactly. The current model is similar to having a one month subscription to BlockBuster and being able to own ever movie that you can download in that month. In the past streaming wasn't an option so downloading was the only option. Things have changed and the business model needs to change.
What is the incentive to rebill? I downloaded X amount of your content for $24.99 for the first month. This month you updated 0.04 X amount of content (the actual percent isn't important, its the fact that the update every month is substantially smaller than the total content). Is that worth the rebill? Fuck no.
