content: Online video purchasing services? Currently, whenever I want to watch a movie or TV show, I have to pirate it. I don't have cable, since it's exorbitantly priced, still has advertisements, and saving things from cable for offline viewing is a pain and the video won't be Fabulous Quality. I could buy DVDs or Blu-Rays off Amazon or in physical retail stores, but physical retail stores tend to have tiny selections (good luck finding Anime in Wal-Mart!), and when bought online the shipping is usually time-consuming, expensive, or both, and even then I still have physical discs which are inconvenient to view and usually have ugly subtitles (and ripping is time consuming and CPU intensive and I never manage to nail the quality/filesize ratio anyway). For digital video purchasing services, I have looked into: Netflix has so far been the only option available to me for convenient legitimate video viewing, however, this service has its own limitations such as being online-only (which can cause video quality issues when the Internet is otherwise occupied), requiring proprietary software to be installed on the computer (which is an extreme security risk and difficult to use on computers not running Windows or OS X), and, of course, the non-infinite video selection (which I do not blame Netflix for in the least, but is an issue nonetheless.) So: does anybody know of legitimate places to obtain videos for viewing conveniently? Piracy does make me feel guilty (I really feel for the content producers who end up getting shafted) and it is legally risky, but I cannot find ways to pay the content producers for their video without getting shafted myself. It's a terrible position.
