You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but when netflix and iTunes came out, there was an explosion of legal downloading. Go figure.

You do the math.

Why do many review sites have users complaining about download limits?
Why would you want to make a legal experience considerably WORSE than a legal one?
DRM and dlkownload limits did nothing whatsoever to discourage piracy and file sharing. Unarguable fact. They just make the UX worse for the legitimate customers.
What you want to do is make the legal experience BETTER than piracy. Not worse.
