I knew it was coming, just a shame it means that we won't see anymore fanfiction.

It's hard to sell something that has been "free" for so long, and still is from many sites. I can understand some people's complaints come from this perspective, and they don't understand economics...
It's really too bad though... all the people comparing to Netflix - with
65 million subs you can charge less. It's called economy of scale. With a smaller group it costs more, and everyone that refuses to pay because some other service costs $x.xx is just ensuring the price of hentai stays high.
Yeah, so you are the one who don't understand economy at all. "economy of scale" doesn't work on a service, and it isn't used for determining the price a service will cost(it can be used for a product, but often it is just used to increase profit Ex. Apple). The only extra cost they have for each extra customer is the electricity, and a bit more strain on their servers (possible support as well, but you don't include that in this).
Everyone just steals and ensures that we're left with nothing but bootlegged and randomly translated censored content.
You do know that it was what Fakku was doing, and is in fact still doing until the end of the year?
That's the sad thing... just like the diff between buying from iTunes vs torrents, you get more music - more quality, variety, and more ownership and less digital rights protection once it's established and people pay a nominal fee.
Just to be sure you meant that getting your music with torrent wins in all those aspect right? If yes, then it seem like a bad comparison :-/
