there is no such thing as a hack-proof system. if someone built it, someone can take it down.

i dont think that they r going to do that because if they put movies on the internet right when they r in the theaters they'll be killing their ticket sales.

true. but if they are charging, then people would rather go to theaters rather than wait 1 hr to dl it.

it's all depend on the price, i would expect it to be 5 bucks for a movie, movies may even be charged differently depend on production level.

as to me, my bottom line is 2 dollars, if they charge more than that, i would rather go to the theater or wait for a dvd rip

the time thing might not be an issue.
they'll probably come up with some new compression techniques, and internet connections will be faster.
so it might even be streamed to avoid dl time.
