I get all this cool stuff in the first place because there are a load of businesses out there looking to make shitloads of money.

There is an enormous amount of high-speed adaptation going on here, with accommodations being worked out between movie studios, streaming video sources, DVD makers, and probably many others. There are licensing issues, bootlegging issues, copyright issues, conflicts of interest between different markets, and trying to create new markets without killing any of the several geese laying the golden eggs. That they can kludge it out at all is a miracle. There is no "technical" reason they can't give you all this product for free. That's not the issue.

Listen to you whining because you can't get theater-resolution new movies squirted on demand into your computer at the touch of a button for the price you think you deserve to pay.
