    Yeah, but there is no way in hell they somehow convinced movie studios to let us have drm-free files. It would be amazing but I can’t see it happening.

        If a storefront starts making people pay money for public domain movie files I am becoming a terrorist.

          It would be a nominal charge for storage, bandwidth, and indexing. Book stores carry public-domain titles, for profit, and most have no issue with that. You can always procure the same files somewhere else—they are public domain, after all. Those who pay are doing so for the convenience, not because they’re forced to.

            I can’t hear you over the dastardly bubbling of my nefarious cauldron where I am brewing vile elixers.
