Movie Experience for a Pirate vs. A Paying Customer

Here's a step by step comparison Mazer came across for the DVD home movie experience of a person watching a pirated movie, and of a person watching the actual DVD:

I definitely buy my DVD's, but I have become quite annoyed with the unskippable trailers, the menu graphics that are borderline spoilers, and especially the Blur-Ray commercial that reminds me that I can't afford an HDTV or Blu-Ray player.

What this doesn't include for the pirate, or bootlegger is:

  • Find Torrent
  • Download Movie
  • Burn DVD

For Paying Customers it's just: Buy Movie from store or order online. Or if I wanted to break it down to support the pirate argument:

  • Drive to Store
  • Find Parking
  • Look for DVD in the section in SHOULD Be in
  • Ask Employee where the DVD is, at which point they look in all the same places you already did
  • Employee Looks up where it is... for some reason it's in the Candy Aisle

Best of both worlds???

Go to NetFlix or iTunes:

  • Select Movie
  • Watch Movie
