But that technology didn't exist for them to pay for. Why would you pay for something you coudn't use and that didn't exist in the first place?

If we had the technology to make Netflix or an equivalent of it viable in the 1970s, I'm sure there would have some takeup of it. I mean we had satellite technology in the 1960s, and if that had become capable of being used for domestic receivership of signals (satellites being intended initially for communications with TV reception being added about a decade later), well all bets would have been off as to where the audience could have gone.

I don't think we would have done to be honest, I think alot of old people/Parents age were more sensible back then. My Grandad refused to pay for sky because of the price of it. All together Netflix, Disney, Paramount costs alot more then a good old cinema trip.
