The content is legal..

Surfers make the choice correct?

Then why has this been tested, 1000's and 1000's of times, and that price point range has proven to convert the best, retain the best, and produce the lowest complaints. It's because this is what the customers want and continue to want.

Many sites offer per clip, scene, per minute, download only, and so on. Not a single billing method/style improves purchases/income.. It's all been tested.
Your problem is you are trying to think for millions of surfers, and that is totally illogical.

Not looking back up to be clear.. but I think they said they are still testing things. Anyway, it's still your opionion that a 4 hour movie is bad for surfers. It's not a one-way door..

They don't mind that the coffee tastes bad because it's free anyway.

I had GREAT free coffee at the SunFlower Market (my fav place to get free coffee) and while buying furniture, I had coffee and cookies. And while getting my haircut, I got a free mixed drink. And the car dealership, had starbucks coffee for free.. HOLY CRAP, while I jumped online for free, to compare prices on a free website. That was one hellish expensive day of free shit.
