well it might work… if the legal version downloads quicker and are better quality then yes this is a much better way to go about fighting Piracy CONSTRUCTIVELY …of course it’s never going to be the complete answer and you’re never going to stop file sharing completely but i do appreciate this effort a lot more rather then being persecuted about it… Has anyone seen this new advert on TV? ‘knock off Nigel downloads knock off films’… LoL what ever man! downloading free copies of stuff is not a knock off product!!! if no one got payed for it then it’s just a free copy of a dvd that someones gave you that it!… and second of all it’s the original copy of a film not a replica item like a fake ipod from china that looks real but isn’t… so don’t try and call me I’m a scaff for downloading the original copy of something real!

It would work better if the site was not owned by the MPAA but instead by a totally independent company. A “service” owned by the MPAA is pretty much a phishing site.

NETFLIX already does this. Not current movies but pretty close considering how quickly movies come out on DVD. I agree though: better if it’s not owned by the MPAA. Also I’d like it better as a service rather than on a per movie basis.

Damn!!! That is the first GOOD idea those idiots have had!!! Why did I get involved in P2P? Because there was no legal way to get a movie out of the Vault for a daughter that wasn’t born when Disney put Cinderella in the Vault.
