I think that these services should be provided by innovative companies. Spotify is available in the US now, but I'm not sure about elsewhere. The problem actually lies in the cost to license the rights to play the movies or music. I believe that is why Pandora.com is not outside of the US. They can't afford to pay the royalties per song.<br /><br />The root of the problem is that these actions are supporting an out of date business model. We should be pushing our government to force easier access to content like this. Governments have done so with patented technology when it's better for the public good (like with vaccines). So if piracy is a problem why not push companies to reduce piracy through easing access to the content and then allow companies to create products around that content? <br /><br />That's what I want to happen. It won't happen unless we force it to happen in some way.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583492196215265543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2251437455227290511.post-82066977956181691372012-01-20T06:25:50.874-08:002012-01-20T06:25:50.874-08:00I liked your post Ryan, specially the "perhap...I liked your post Ryan, specially the "perhaps literally" part haha, I do have a question for you.<br /><br />What are the governments around the world doing to create a global framework for sharing legally all these types of files? I mean, why is spotify not running outside Europe? Or why is netflix not in this part of the world? It makes it so much more difficult for the end users.<br /><br />I mean, I would be happy to pay for a GOOD and non expensive service, but i find that it doesn't exists in my region. What's happening there?JQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02068986351996989998noreply@blogger.com
