But surely for that $5.95 a month you may just as well use a regulated site like ITunes or something? So what's the point? [/quote]
Well for me, I don't download music. Just movies and software.
I have joined a movie site, but they do not provide downloads, only streaming. The streaming is awful. Many of the movies you get there you cannot even tell who the actors are if you do not allready know in advance who is in it
If and when they offer a high quality stream, I will more then likely download almost exclusively from them. I have absolutely no problem with paying(as long as the prices do not exceed $5.00 for a new release for a few days use. I would be more then willing to pay say $50.00 a month for unlimited access), but cannot agree with paying for a product that is below the standards of even the worst cam job.
I have contacted them on this and they have replied that they are working on a direct download system. No timeline was given though.
Belive me, I would rather be completely legal about this, but right now they do not offer a product even close to what you can get through p2p.
The only thing I would miss about moving away from p2p is the people I have met. I would still need to be a part of the forums.
