So, are you saying i can buy this movie online, put it on my NAS and play it on my: media player, Linux laptop and transfer it to my iPad or Android Phone for travels? That's just a dealbreaker, and i'm sure not only for me. As long as the movie industry doesn't see that, they can complain about piracy all they want, but they won't win me as a customer. Not because i don't want to, but because i just can't watch their fuing movies on my devices. By the way, i have a slow internet connection, so all streaming platforms are a no go as well. I'd go for streaming but then again the ones i have seen (in germany) rely on MS Silverlight or some creepy stuff that also doesn't work on my media player or laptop.

Edit: A good example is, that i actually have a Spotify Premium Subscription i am glad to pay (it runs on Linux, media player, iPad, Android, that's just awesome!). I also bought a lot of MP3s on Amazon and i know i will be able to listen to them whenever and whereever i want even without internet access. That's what i pay for.
