It took a long time, but legit music offerings are finally all around better than pirate offerings. And it's been a fantastic financial success. It's crystal clear what gets consumers to pay. Netflix is nowhere near satisfying for anyone who values the things I listed, which is a non-trivial percent of people. Everyone who comes over my house is absolutely astounded that I have 80+ full TV shows (nearly 1/3rd in HD, mostly because HD sources are not available) and 500+ HD movies all able to be played any time, on either my monitor or the tv, or copied to any device, going straight into the program, with a single click. They've never experienced anything like it. And there's no amount of money I could pay to have it legally. (although few consumers would even want a setup that requires 12TB of disk space and NAS, but they certainly would like the benefits on a smaller collection).
And right there is where they could rake in the cash from even a dedicated pirate like me: Offer me the dozens of shows in HD that aren't able to be pirated, and the other dozen that need remastering in hd... and I'd pay. I have paid. Unfortunately it was to a cyberlocker because no public torrent existed, no paid legit offer existed... but there it was, 5 seasons all in full HD, on uploaded.com.
You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.
