Disadvantages of on-demand internet streaming

Although on-demand movies and TV shows pack a heavy punch with all of its advantages, it too still has some disadvantages. These include:
  • Most on-demand services are not entirely free; they require for users to pay for a subscription.
  • Not all movies and TV series are available through thus service, so some may be left disappointed as they won’t find the content they were looking for. They will be especially disappointed if they purchased a subscription too, just to watch this programme/movie which turns out to not be available, as the subscriptions tend to be non-refundable.
  • Some regions of the world i.e. the USA get more content than others due to their geological region. This is argued to be unfair, as the service should not be better for some people, especially if they are paying the same amount.
  • People can sometimes find ways to steal copies this content, and distribute it illegally over the internet.
