Hairsational This sort of thing is exactly what drives piracy. People just want to be able to consume the content they are paying for in a frictionless way that suits them as an individual. They don't want to be told "you can't do this" and they certainly don't want to have benefits that have already paid for reduced or removed. History shows that when service providers impose restrictions on how content can be consumed or add other sources of friction, people increasingly turn to piracy.

justifying piracy lol

    theHobbit lol, thanks thank you for caring about us. yes it’s true that I’m greedy too; and it's because I'm greedy that I'm a lifetime subscriber to slr; Yes, it's true ; and I find Seigneurcrash's proposal interesting; after all it’s just a request.

      When I first joined there was no download limit. I haven't downloaded anything in a while, the streaming has mostly been working for me. But as they seem to want to continue to erode daydream support I am looking more at downloading again. Daydream continues to work just fine for me except for some of the 200deg videos. I'm afraid if they move to a new codec those videos will not work on daydream. I could download movies and convert them myself. And no download limit would allow me not to worry about them blocking the daydream app, i could download and use skybox app to watch.

      LordCrash just to clarify, I am not against your idea, I think it’s a reasonable thing to ask and I’d be perfectly happy if it was granted.

      I was just explaining why they’ll never agree to it in the hope of not opening this can of worms again where everyone starts fighting about download levels. It seems we’re on the way though! Not that this is your fault, you asked a perfectly reasonable question.

        LordCrash Long term users or short term users who hit the access limits generally cost platforms like SLR more than what they make in subscription fees.

        The issue at play is these passionate opinions are coming from the point of view of a self-admitted super heavy user. Regardless of site, these users make up a microscopic amount of the user base and often are the most opinionated.

        If you choose to cancel and go elsewhere, that is within your right. However, downloading nonstop may lead to similar issues on other sites even if their ToS does not mention fair use policies, download limits, etc. Thus, if you value the site as much as they seemingly value you, chipping in to keep the site in the black via buying individual movies is the fairer option.

          Hairsational If the usage system keeps the company profitable and 99% of users never encounter any limits, it is working as intended. If one goes to a buffet and begins shoveling tons of steak every time it comes out into Tupperware--something most customers don't do--then they may be shown the door or shown a bigger bill. The same can be said for sites that allow download access, but may have a small # of users with especially large hard drives that need filling.

            begs the question why someone threatening to leave would want SLR to increase their downloads quota or why users justifying piracy would want their download quota increased

              LordCrash I'm sure everyone questioning why you want more download freedom feels perfectly fine with digital only or streaming only on their video game consoles or music right? I bet in that light they would probably understand your point of view a little better? I'm sure they also see no benefit from being able to either have physical or digital versions of films at hand? I'm sure they are perfectly happy with streaming services and their cycles of adding and removing films? I think it's a totally valid question to at least ask.

                theHobbit I'm curious why you are opposed to more downloads? You don't use them but for some reason do care about them.

                Me myself, I cut out the moneyshot and make my own compilation... Is this a big issue for you? Not sure why you don't like people who use what is offered by the website

                Nobody is demanding anything, nobody has justified piracy (like really, not at all)

                  in any case, if indeed there is not a large part of the people who ask for more downloads, there will be no changes; no need to argue, we can actually look elsewhere for example, or take antidepressants lol; for my part, it is true that I subscribed for life to wankz in addition to slr for this reason: I can download both on slr and on wankz (because I never watch in streaming, I always download the videos , I keep little extracts: and so I manage to be happy; lol
