If a relentless site like thepiratebay can be taken down (not saying it can) then other sites and methods can be as well. |
Media distribution business models need to change.
Imagine a world where for $3.50 you could get any film on the planet in DVD quality delivered to your computer or TV sans DRM (but digitally watermarked) and for $5 you could get HD quality. Want to see the latest episode of Breaking Bad from America or Dr. Who from the UK or Счастливы вместе (Happy Together) from Russia with English subtitles? That'll cost you $2. Subtitles for any language you could want for all content. Everyone on the planet allowed access to this content for these low fees. Localized billing methods should be provided for countries where credit card adoption is less common.
I guarantee you piracy would be less of an issue and sales would be huge.
