This is not about me being forced to pirate anything. It&#x27;s about offering paying customers a way worse service than people who just download a copy illegaly.<p>It&#x27;s not too hard to slap a PayPal or Stripe button in front of an HTML5 video with optional Flash fallback. But no, legal entities need to make sure that you won&#x27;t rip them off with their digital rights nonsense.<p>I understand that this is mostly a legal requirement, but the technical implementation still sucks tremendously up to a point where I wonder, why a service that charges money can&#x27;t afford better developers than a free service.
