3. Oink.cd. 3 minutes later, album.
Now I never torrent music.
1. Grab phone. Type 3 letters of band name. Preview to see if more than 2 songs worth getting. Buy album. Listen without ever turning on computer.
You made it easy, so now I use it.
I would happily just watch everything off of Netflix if it was on there. I'd also pay more than $10 for it.
Make a way so I can pay per NHL game? Yes please. See you Shaw. Take your HD Treehouse and whatever other crap you make me pay for and shove it.

This.
I want this model, an easily manageable way to download movies/TV shows (that I will pay for) that I can store in a central place in my home and make accessible to any device capable of playing that file in the house.
The movie industry and the TV industry refuse to make content available without digital locks and go aggressively after anyone (
Kaleidescape) who tries to develop a model.
Once they realize this is what people want they will make the breakthrough, this is them treading water. I think the issue they see is what has happened to the Music industry. Since Apple rewrote the paradigm the recording industry has seen a huge decline in revenues, but I see that more as a realignment of the industry to the true economic realities.
