This. There is no contest. Right now there are only two options. An inconvenient pay to watch model with a horrible catalog, and a convenient free to watch model with an infinite catalog.<p>The simple logistics of how a video gets on Netflix vs gets on torrents should make the difference obvious. Netflix is one company negotiating and buying content. Torrents are uploaded by the people &quot;when they feel like it&quot;.<p>I really wish there was something in between. What would it take for a Popcorn Time with a payment option? If payments were anonymous (difficult but what if) and movie studios began to see more money than they got from Netflix, I wonder if minds would begin to change. At the end of the day, all they want is to get paid, which is not an unfair proposition at all.
