Actually, that's the 'quaint' thing about NMT's, especially here in the philippines -- we don't have any service that would allow legal downloading of HD content.
If it were available and reasonably priced (e.g. same cost as a 2 disc dvd, for example), I think there would be a lot of takers.
Personally, more than the quality of the content NMT's can play, I really enjoy the ability to have your ENTIRE library at your finger tips. I've ripped my personal collection, whether that's legal or not is one thing, whether it's
FAIR USE is another, but I digress.
But personally I think we should just limit our discussions to the NMT hardware itself -- particularly what it can and cannot do, the problems involved and it's other potential uses (network storage, multi-media jukebox).
I personally would like to see the eventual facilitation and legalisation of legal
P2P downloads, but that's really another discussion. My
hope is that we see beyond mere finger pointing and open our minds towards possibilities rather than just close ourselves against something that has the potential to change how we
acquire,
view and
store our beloved movies.
I'm confident that most people will find the above agreeable at the very least :>
EDIT: grammatical correction
Would you encourage PinoyDVD people to buy legal HD copies instead of downloading/swapping "free" files?
