THE CRITERIA

1Pricing

In general I want the pricing model to be simple and transparent. I don't mind a slight difference in pricing between movies with regard to the age of the movie.

  • Rentals should not exceed 1/3 of the cinema price.
  • Purchases should not exceed the cinema price.
  • Monthly flat rate prices should not exceed 3 visits to the cinema.
  • TV shows should cost 1/3 the price of movies.
  • Payments are for the content, not bandwidth.

2Languages

  • I can obtain the audio in every language produced for the content.
  • After purchasing a movie, all the languages are available.
  • Fans are legally allowed to create and share subtitles for any content.

3Convenience

  • The content I paid for is instantly available.
  • Content is delivered without ads, or disrupting infringement warnings.
  • I can find movies or TV shows by year, director, language, country, genre, iMDB ID, etc.

4Choice And Release Dates

  • The release date is global. There are no limits regarding the country I live in.
  • I can download nearly every movie ever made.

5Rights

  • I can watch the movie on any device, without any differences in how the movie is presented.
  • Movies are not bound to the service provider, and must be DRM-free in the case of purchases.
  • I can easily understand my rights regarding movies that I rent, buy, or stream at a flat rate.
