Yup its what irritates me the most. Its like pretty obvious to anyone with common sense. The best way to stop theft is by stopping the content from being stolen in the first place. All the effort being placed on going after advertisers and people making money off stolen content is all well and good, but it aint going to do shit to stop what started the problem in the first place, and that is the business model that adult got pushed into originally. The main cause of the problem is that there was no technology to limit time limits more in the way of a rental.
If the technology we have today was in place back then it NEVER would of happened. Never. And now there are too many stick in the muds whining about how customers hate restrictions. Well DUH of course they do. If resturants never offered free refills would you whine now if you had to pay for one? NOPE!.
Now you have all these people crying about videos all over the place. When you mention that content should be locked down all you get is "Customers will leave they hate drm blah blah"
Has to be Industry wide change to stop this. It will ONLY get WORSE period. Internet connections and server speeds are only going to increase. Fiber connections will enable people to trade full dvds over instant messengers directly. Only way to do it is to unite the industry and lock down the new exclusive content from here on out. You cant get back what is out. Like herding cats, like catching fleas with chopsticks etc. But Im sure some swell person will come in and tell us all why what I say is wrong. And how Im a noob and unable to put forth an opinion.
