Bye, bye Brafilm!
I’ve just now discontinued my Brafilm account. It’s a Swedish version of Netflix. This was my second time as a Brafilm customer and it lasted about one and a half year.
I’ve used my scraped RSS feeds to get information about upcoming, released, and top 100 movies, added the interesting ones to my movie list. Then I’ve gotten the movies from my snail mail box, watched them (quite laborious at times), and sent them back. I like that. But it takes a little too much time and there are not enough interesting movies out there, so I’ve decided to take a pause. Perhaps I’ll return in a while when there’s a backlog of watchable movies.
I do believe that subscription services in general, and music subscription services, like Yahoo! Music Unlimited, in particular have the potential to become huge (but I haven’t tested it out myself yet). I know how to access movies for “free” over the net, but I choose to pay a monthly fee for the convenience and quality (and because it’s the right thing to do?) and this time around I’ve paid $515, which is quite a hefty sum. Movies are probably still not too pirated to be sellable, but is it too late for music?
