Just would like to have a discussion on the topic. I've purchased around 20ish movies/shows on Vudu, and my wife has grown to be unhappy with Vudu's UI and especially how the watch progress works. I am curious what some others thoughts on this are. My initial thoughts are I recognize I've purchased a license to watch the content, but feel that because I've purchased it I should have the right to retain total control over it and do what I please. I would like to purchase movies on physical media from now on, but wouldn't like to repurchase all the same movies and shows again when I've already paid for them
You’ve paid for the right to watch the movie. The movie industry will argue that you’ve just paid for the right to access that physical copy and I’m sure from a legal point of view they’re right as they’ve lobbied to increase control out of greed and the hope of being able to get more money out of you for the same effort.
Morally you paid to access the content, you paid to compensate the creators for their work. Now you’re entitled to view what you’ve paid for.
