It`s 2012. I can get live footage of every event over the world within an hour good or bad (Youtube / Twitter / TV ) but cant watch my favorite tv-shows when i want.

There are a total of 6 - The Walt Disney Company - Sony Pictures Entertainment - Paramount Pictures - Twentieth Century Fox - Universal Studios - Warner Bros. remaining movie studios who control the rights to nearly every popular movie / tv-show. What is mind blowing for me they rather sue mothers who torrent some music files then get their act together and create an iTunes Store for themselves.

It could be so easy for them to create a joint venture and buy Netflix and Spotify. Those companies, given the right tools, can easily figure out a consumer model that would work for the majority of us.

But no, they rather witch hunt for over a decade now and lobby more and more censorship laws in every country. I finally want to get to the point where i can watch what i want when i want.
