    Want me to buy your media legally? Oh please, this is tremendously easy to do for a corporation!

    • Downloadable files (you have files, right? Otherwise how are you streaming out the stuff)
    • …with open codecs (you are using an open codec right? Otherwise you have to encode your stuff like 10 times for 10 different devices each with its own idiosyncrasy)
    • …without DRM (you have clean copies right? it’d not be smart to base a business model on files you can’t open, see the above)
    • …at an aggregate price that’s lower than paying for TV cable (you can cash in only a bit, right? It’s digital media and your competition is literally over-the-air TV with extra steps, it’s not like you have the mother of pearl of cancer cures here)
