What Paul said:

People are paying to use Netflix. It's easy and simple. Nobody is going to want to track down one of the myriad ways to legitimately rent a movie on an a la carte basis (especially if the first step involves finding out which movie studio owns the movie so you can rent it directly from them). People will turn to piracy instead, and then we're back to square one.


But I'm curious, given the wide availability of instant, illicit streaming of almost every TV show and movie ever created, how many of you have already turned to piracy for at least some of your video needs?
