but lets hit the high points here

if this biz were really innovative like we once were we would have videoplayers that overlay the users login and ip onto the video

these players would play the new MPEG-DASH standard and piracy would be greatly thwarted.....so would encoding multiple standards for video streams

ccbill would have direct deposit

Ccbill and netbilling would have jumped right out with wordpress integration plugins

we wouldnt be giving away what we should be selling

The main problem is we got lazy and all the real technical guys went elsewhere or retired leaving a bunch of empty suits and scumbags banging cards and annoying the customers with intrusive advertising tactics.
