Do you know what drives people to ? When your six-year-old runs to you in tears because they 'deleted' her favourite Minion movie from .

What we 'own' for €15/month is an access to a library where movies appear and disappear seemingly at random. Good luck explaining that to children.

@sesivany I would not call it piracy in czech republic. We have extra tax on hardware, so downloading is legal here.

@vyskocilm @pavel @sesivany But you have to download at least half of the internet.

@sesivany this is IMHO fair, you're paying a subscription and they never suggest you own anything, AFAIK. Much worse if if you pay for individual movies and then can't own the copies anyway due to DRM, and then they get deleted like in the recent Sony case.

@vbabka @sesivany it's piracy either way.

@vbabka I didn't say it's unfair, I'm just saying it's driving people to piracy. If streaming is pretty much the only way to *legally* watch movies these days, good luck explaining kids that they can no longer watch their favourite one because Netflix didn't want to prolong the license. Then you just go and download it, you have it permanently, your kid is happy, you're happy.
