The little guy can get a Netflix or Hulu subscription. It isn’t like someone has locked away a Van Gogh painting and has ordered all prints destroyed. Don’t like Hulu or Netflix? Start your own company and negotiate your own deals with the content owners.

No. That implies that I have any respect for content owners or any willingness to play by their rules - and I don't, and I won't.
