I looked at Netflix a couple months ago, and their streaming selection was lame, pathetic, and absolutely useless. I wouldn’t want anything they have for free, let alone pay for it.

@stevo – they will *never* regain control. the genie is out of the bottle and there is no way to put it back in. the music labels spent a decade ignoring and then suing a whole generation of potential customers.

the war will rage on, but the opportunity to take control is long gone. the practical reality is that centralized control of content is simply impossible. piracy in all forms is a mathematical certainty and there is nothing that the industry can do to stop it.

my concern is that another 10 years will go by, and another slew of poorly thought out laws will be enacted before hollywood wakes up and realizes that they can’t win.

Thank you Enigmax for the good read!

And I am very happy to see some comments inbetween that confirm what I knew all along:
This “war” will just vanish with the advancement and expansion of technology.
This “war” will loose it’s battlefield rather sooner than later.

Its actually much simpler than that. All they have to do is “product placement” in TV shows and movies. Instead of commercials you actually see products in the show and the commercials can go away. Then they can distribute the damn things for free . Face it, its only commercial money they get for TV shows as it is. Its so messed up how they do their business that they dont even know what to do.
