Exactly. But the movie industry doesn't want to accept this truth.

At least the music industry has adapted a bit. Spotify is a great service. Netflix was poised to be the movie industry's "Spotify" but the studios got scared and fricked Netflix in the A.

How many movies are out there that you can't get with In Demand or Netflix/Amazon prime? Most people don't keep the big DVD collections anymore. There are shitloads of movies available instantly but they aren't free.

Even if you combined Netflix and Amazon, you don't get very much. And their service is limited (No Amazon Video phone app), limited download options, etc.).

There is plenty of content available via today's delivery method at yesterday's prices, inflation included. I think it's $3 - $4 for an SD rental, and $5 - $6 for varying levels of HD quality. The pricing is ridiculous. A Blu Ray rental costs me $1.50 at Red Box. Give me the highest quality HD for $2 and it will be worth the convenience of not having to drive 2 minutes to the nearest Red Box. $5 - $6 is a non starter.
