If people want to pay, I guess they'd prefer to do so even if they have to breach the TOS to do it. If they don't care they'll go straight for a torrent site.</p> I agree they’re both in the same grey area.

Fiddling the system to download something you aren’t allowed to download, or downloading it from a torrent client is essentaily the same thing as far as the law is concerned. If you’re going to break the law – why pay for the privilledge?

SCREW THEM. Even if you go to the trouble of doing all this and "renting" your movie, it's not like prices are good value, or the terms of use are fair. God forbid you should fall asleep part way through your rental and then want to watch the rest the next night. Oh no.. you have 24 hours from the time it first starts playing. Sorry. Try Again Apple... Perhaps your AppleTV Service Mark III might be better... when it gets here to Aust in 2012. On the plus side, you can save a bundle on space heating if you run one of these. Better still get one for each of the kids bedrooms and heat your whole house thru winter.</p> Props to the people who go to the trouble of working this all out… but SERIOUSLY… ???
