The movies don't cost £79 per year though, do they?
You get the movies, plus the TV shows, plus the music streaming, plus the next day delivery, plus the free kindle book per month, plus the kindle lending library.
So, no, not £79 per year for movies.

No, I get what you mean, but the idea that "no one has lost out" is complete rubbish and you know it. If I was to own a shop that sold the latest movies, and somebody was outside the store giving away bootleg copies of them to customers, you can be damned sure I would indeed be losing out. But because it's a faceless corporation then it's "OK". "Happily wait until it's on tv".. if that were true then you'd actually do that wouldn't you, so obviously that isn't the case..

I've downloaded an album, listened to it and thought it was awesome, then gone to buy the vinyl. I would never have bought it if I hadn't had access to a free copy beforehand. That would have deprived someone of money. Now repeat for 1000a like me.
Swings and roundabouts innit.

Not really cos you've costed him time and petrol, wear and tear on the car. A better analogy would be skitchin on the back of your neighbour's taxi and letting him pay. You got a free ride but no one lost out. That's my logic. Hope you can understand it now. It is awesome isn't it? Your mind blown?
I should clarify the scenario I was imagining is one where the viewer wouldn't pay a penny to watch the film, whether it was available free or not. If unavailable, he'd happily go without or wait for it to be on tv.

Nah I don't subscribe to that argument.
I streamed the reverant back when it was released around Oscar screener season. Thought it was decent. If it wasn't available illegally I would have rented it or went to the cinema. But I've seen it and not paid, so someone has lost out on my money.
Repeat this for the last few years that I've used Torrents, then add in books that I would have brought from Amazon or watertones. When stuff is available online for free, then businesses are losing money.
It's been years since I paid for a novel, businesses have lost hundreds of pounds of my business.
No rinse and repeat for other like me.
Can't see how the argument that businesses are not losing makes sense

The story so far:
1. Home vs Cinema releases vs prices (non-sequitur)
2. HD vs SD (usual debate for last 10+ years)
3. 4K (#1 hot topic - insert this in every thread for next 5+ years)
4. DVD vs Blu-ray (more format wars to come soon [see UHD 4K BR])
5. Poundland (no relevance to the discussion..)
6. Kodi (streaming vs moral highground)
7. CAR THEFT!!! (WTF LEVEL10)

Literally a "blind buy".. Though, if you think that is a BAD movie then I'll have to recommend some true dross to you. :smile:

Reminds me of those pre movie warnings you used to get on (legally) purchased movies. You wouldn't steal a car! I probably would though :stuck_out_tongue:
The irony of course being the only people that ever saw those warnings are the people that actually bought and paid for the disc cos it'll be stripped out of pirated versions haha

I'm sorry. Did you watch it, or was it a gift for someone you didn't like?

I think stealing a car is several orders of magnitude greater than 'illegally' watching a film. As well, stealing a car takes the car away from the owner, whereas digital streaming does not (hence why it's piracy and not theft). So piracy is different to theft, is what I'm saying.
Though I don't condone either. If only because why would anyone want to watch the propagandised rubbish Hollywood churn out?

As a prime customer, I already get Amazon Instant Video, and access to thousands of free movies. I assume this deal is aimed to non Amazon Prime customers who don't download torrents either?

Free movies that cost £79 a year.

Amazon Prime Video is pretty rubbish though, isn't it? It's not like it has every movie you could possibly want to see for free. For example, The Revenant and High Rise from the list above are not free on Prime, and those were just the first 2 I checked.

Darn you then.. I've never seen anything close to as good a Deals as those. I did once get The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug in 3D Blu-ray 2nd hand for £2.54 but that was after it had been out a while.

You aren't going to find The Revenant, High-Rise or the Snoopy Movie for £1 in Poundland in HD anytime soon.

So a better analogy would be skipping paying a taxi driver after he's taken you to your destination then. You weren't going to pay him anyway, he's already bought the car he's riding in, and he might be rich too. Sure, he'd be better off if you paid for his services, but hey, who cares. Just so many kinds of awesome to your logic..

If you weren't going to buy it anyway, then it doesn't deprive the "owner" of anything.
Not that any of those owners, time,Fox, etc are facing financial hardship.

All the old ones. New movies and those in 4K are very very expensive, sometimes cheaper to watch in the cinema
joedastudd to sam_of_london
30 Sep 163#13
If your watching them solo then yes new rentals can be more expensive then the cinema, but for a couple or family then it's a lot cheaper even at £10-£15 a rental.
Plus you have the option of hot food, alcohol and pausing it if you need the toilet.
Not to mention most streaming rentals are unlimited views within a 48 hour period.
Honestly if they ever released films to legal streaming at the same as they did box office they'd pretty much kill traditional cinema chains even if they increased the price to £20.
