You said they should just print copies, I said that would be stupid of them because it's illegal and they'd get busted. A lawyer doesn't stand a chance of making any money because they work like a library not a newspaper because they make it clear in the terms of service that they work like a library. Explicitly outlining that they have a limited number of copies of every movie and depending on what you select you might or might not get it immediately, and now they even describe the throttling in the terms.

No, I said they represented themselves to customers in such a way as they could come up with whatever copies is needed to fulfill "unlimited." The customer could care less how they do that. Going back to the beginning of this vicious circle, how does the customer know they don't do with Paramount and their ilk for movies what PC vendors do with Microsoft for Windows. You're a street sweeper you don't know boo about what the company you are dealing with has to do to get okays from the publishers they deal with. Nor should you have to know boo.

They didn't before, and that got them in trouble
