There is no way to \"creatively\" get their content via the API, you can simply use it to find what is in their library and information about those items. \r\n\r\nIt's not enough for MAFIAA that you have a valid account giving you access to the material, that's evident from all kind of other situations. If that were so, DVDs and Blurays wouldn't have to be encrypted, and there would be no need for PVRs to encrypt it's recordings. \r\n\r\nThey don't want to sell you a general license to a use a particular media, they want to sell you a license to use the media in the time period specified by them, in the quality specified by them, in the geograpical region specified by them and on the device or device type specified by them. That way they can sell the same content multiple times, as they already do. Just think of all the movies shown by TV channels you have legal access to, you pay for that as well one way or another either it is via subscription fees, via taxes or by suffering through ads. If you already paid for that content earlier \r\nby going to a theatre, buying it on DVD or Bluray or paying for a streaming service, you will pay twice (or multiple times) for the same content. That is their core business strategy, to have you pay as many times as possible for the same content.\r\n\r\nIn addition to protecting the above \"business strategy\" they want to make it impossible to copy their content without regard to if such a copy is permitted by law or not. They know that if it's possible to copy for \"legal\" purposes it will also be copied for \"illegal\" purposes. In addition it's much better for them to charge you again if you want access to it at a later time or under different circumstances.\r\n\r\nI am 100% sure that anyone that want access to MAFIAA controlled content will have to sign contracts that force them to take part in protecting the above described arrangements. If you don't want to accept it all, you simply won't be allowed access. Since Hollywood delivers such a huge part of what is consumed whitin \"motion picture\", they have something closely resembling a monopoly and can dictate the terms. Imagine Netflix or any similar service without access to MAFIAA content, and you will quickly see that they wouldn't exist.\r\n\r\nI'm therefore sure that it won't be any way to access streaming MAFIAA content without breaking some law or agreement in the forseable future. That applies to Netflix and any similar service. When it comes to non MAFIAA content it's a whole different matter. MAFIAA also generate a substantial amount of export revenue for the US, which means that they to a large extent can dictate US law as well - and as we've seen with e.g. the pirate bay - they have the means to significantly exert pressure on other governments as well. In the end, my guess is that anyone that want to be a part of NATO or a \"NATO partner\" and/or want to have a trade agreement with the US will have to abide by the rules set by MAFIAA."}}
