The video entertainment industry would make a grip if they did this. If I could just pay to stream the latest releases, I would watch 5x more movies. Now it's a hassle with getting the kids ready and packing snacks to bring into the theater. I would GLADLY pay for the ability to watch whatever tv show i could whenever I wanted. But then again It'd probably never leave the house. Maybe it's for the best.
