I still refuse to think that MOST Downloaders download JUST because it's free. They download because it's easy and ubiquitous, not necessarily because it's free.

This is definitely true. Most people are paying for cable/satellite now. Paying for content isn't what people are against, they just want the content on their terms and at a price they think is fair.

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.

I think it's Netflix that got scared. If they had been willing to go to a tiered pricing structure they'd still have Starz, and if one of those tiers would have been over $20 they'd probably have HBO as a supplier rather than the competitor.
