I'm assuming that you only get the widely-available homemade movie right now because there's nothing else to share. Maybe some footage of Bono in bed at home listening to Justin Bieber albums and recuperating? ;^) I didn't get the super deluxe boxed version because I wasn't too excited about this feature, but for those who have it and use it, here's to hoping you'll see great snips and clips from upcoming shows once the tour resumes.

It's true that the content is not "new" and is available elsewhere. But the thing is it became available AFTER the purchase of the BD disc. In that sense it is new. This sort of technology did not exist before BD live for disc based purchases. So while still barely useful it's a showcase for the potential. Also, the "being able to know when and where" part, that's just a simple matter of jotting down the IP address and time of requesting the stream. Youtube knows that much about you with no privacy qualms. Basic internet science really. You’re missing the point.

No offense but don't make a big deal about something people have done for ages. Sell the product and make money and if you have to lie do it. There's been worse than this small scam.

That's creepy and nosy, to say the least. What bothers me is the part about them knowing who’s watching the DVD when, where, and how often. That’s creepy and nosy, to say the least.
