Piracy does not kill the film industry, but greed ...

Cash fees of large film studios going wild, but nevertheless they constantly refuse to use the online business model and this hinders progress. In the opinion of the Blockbuster film distribution network head, the crap industry is to blame for everything.

First, we need to make sure that large film studios earn huge box office despite the fact that the movie-piracy is as high as ever.

Nevertheless, other market participants (for example, film distributors) barely survive. “Thank you” for this you can tell film studios, not pirates.

In January of this year, Warner Brothers announced that their new DVD discs would not be available for online hire through Netflix for one month from the start of their sales in stores. They hoped that this should have increased their sales, but the most likely effects of this were an increase in piracy and a fall in Netflix profits.

This “step back” was made at a time when consumers are asking for access to content on demand, as well as the opportunity to choose a tariff plan that would satisfy their needs in watching movies. Studios do not hide their skepticism about new technologies. Moreover, they add all sorts of restrictions to increase their profits, not paying attention to market signals.

Film studios' greed did not go unnoticed by Paul Uniacke, the head of the two distribution networks of Video Ezy and Blockbuster. “The studios' greed impedes the appearance of films“ on demand, ”he said in response to their demand to pay huge sums of money in advance for the right to provide on-demand broadcasts.

Movie studios are as arrogant as music magnates before digital downloads and piracy destroyed them. File size is the only thing that still allows movie studios to keep afloat. "
Like the big music labels, the studios are trying to control how people “consume” content, which prevents retailers from competing with piracy through innovation. This way they kill their business, as well as many retailers, while at the same time putting all the blame on piracy.

The consumer wants to get a convenient, affordable, as well as high-quality product for a reasonable price. Nevertheless, the efforts of film studios and music labels are directed in the opposite direction - they use the old business model to preserve their monopoly.
