That’s what MoviesAnywhere was for. If the provider stops selling the video or goes under, it should still be available there.
Comment on Amazon Prime Video is able to remove a video from your library after purchase.
Trixie0383@lemmynsfw.com 8 months agoI still don’t get how a consumer can’t just pay (fantasy hypothetical world) $10, and what they watch/view is recorded.
- Streaming company takes their cut, distributes the rest to content producers proportioned based on what was watched.
- Producers take their cut then distribute the rest as residuals.
I lied. I do know that the current contract infrastructure doesn’t allow for this.

Because of the shareholders take all the benefit without contributing actual work. Just capital. And the same shareholders don’t want to take risks. But you can’t make a movie without money upfront. That is the whole problem.

What?! You union guys don’t work on promises that you’ll get paid, maybe, sometime in the future and exposure? /s
(Also, I definitely should have put a joke about film there but not in the proper frame of mind to make a good one.)
