Yeah, I first tried Netflix streaming in 2011, thinking it would be an alternative to going to RedBox to rent movies as they came out for rent. But I soon found out that it wasn't like that.

Yeah, something like that would probably be good.

In the US, I think copyright for music & movies lasts 70 years after the author's (or producer's) death.  It might apply to books too, but I don't remember for sure.
