Don't have fast enough Internet connection to stream reliably.
Have 13 year old TV so no Blue-Ray player (would also need to buy new entertainment center to replace my hand built wood one).
Have basic satellite service so not much on TV (I just watch sports).
Theater is expensive and people are often inconsiderate of others so I buy the DVD movie online and watch at home.

We owe much of your day to day lives to visionaries such as yourself. I started programming on a C-64 and Apple IIe. My first professional computer was a Mac IIfx. I am raising my glass to you.

PCI (Payment Card Industry) will deal with this eventually, as traffic should be encrypted from the reader to the backoffice server or whatever brokers the transaction to the payment processor. What needs to be done is encrypt the card information at the reader at the pump, even if the information is transmitted via serial connection (out of PCI scope today). Prudent companies keep the keys to the gas pumps secure as well as do at least daily checks on the pumps (crack the box, look for skimmer).
I suspect this type of skimming is more prevalent that is getting press for.
The answer to your question: The Berne Convention [wikipedia.org], which affixes copyright on anything written down anywhere. Really. This comment is copywritten by yours truly thanks to that rule and that fun text at the bottom of the page, and as such if I were wealthy and a complete jerk I could sue someone for infringement if someone decided to plagiarize me.
