Having access to all shows for a flat monthly fee , piracy was what made the music industry have a rethink. £9.99 a month allows you to stream as much music as you want with many services having north of 40 million tracks.

The worrying thing is that we have all these different streaming services, each with their own subscription fees or PPV (as well as services with unskippable ads) and although we may well end up with more choice than we have now, it's going to get rather expensive unless we find a way of permitting archived material from being accessed from a central database..
From the consumer's point of view it would be good if we could just access all programmes over 5 years' old via the cloud either on subscription or PPV.
