>can watch a catalog of almost all the movies ever made on demand tonight.

You must have one hell of a different streaming services experience from that of most people today if you can pull this off without engaging in a fair bit of torrenting and general piracy.




No you just decide what movie you want to watch and pay $4 to rent it on demand. Very common experience available to anyone with a smart TV or connected streaming device.


Yeah, regular consumer streaming might cover "movies still popular enough but not so new that they're only in theaters." However "all the movies ever made" is a significantly higher bar.

Even with piracy, it wasn't possible a few decades ago.
