My first choice would be to rent it. That way I get subtitles. But if
it is unavailable on DVD, then there's bit torrents. If they do make
it available later on DVD, I will rent it for the subtitles. But until
they do, torrents are the only option.
BTW, don't let the entertainment industry hoodwink you about all this
"digital rights" crap. Sony tried to pull a fast one on the consumer
years ago with VCRs. They tried to prevent people from recording TV
shows. Congress told them to FOAD. That's what I think ultimately is
going to happen with "digital rights", which is just the VCR crap all
over again.
The people that the entertainment industry need to go after are the
real pirates, the ones in Asia that knock off their content and sell
it for profit. Going after the consumer is a waste of time and just
pisses people off. Fucking greedy lawyers are at the bottom of all
that.
If I can rent it, I will so they get their filthy royalty. But if they
do not make it available, I will find it elsewhere. And I am not
paying more than rental to download something that has viruses in it
or can't be copied to other media or can only be played under absurd
conditions.
