Netflix Hints at Price Increases, Plans to Retire Basic Service Amid Ad-Tier Growth

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Because piracy isn’t a pricing issue, it’s a service issue. If people can get a better service for free, then that’s what they’re going to do. It’s the same reason people go to McDonalds, everyone can make a mid burger at home, but McDs has already done it and will sell it at a price some people will find reasonable. If I could go to Netflix, pay them whatever it costs right now and actually watch the content at a resolution I actually paid for and download to keep myself a copy for later (because again, I bought it) then I’d pay for Netflix. Seeing as that’s not the case and likely won’t be because people keep paying for Netflix, we’re stuck with the status quo.
When you're talking about downloading for later are you talking about while your Netflix subscription is active, or for after you terminate your subscription?
After as well, no DRM on downloads. Pure .mp4
