This is an excellent graphic that shows how the movie and entertainment industry goes into a panic every single time some new technology comes along, running to big gov to suppress said tech to protect their profit margins.

They may lose money for a time but, in the end, they always overcome the new tech and find a way to use it to their advantage. I don't see why this time should be any different. The cost of seeing a movie in the theaters is getting astronomical. I can get an annual Zoo membership for the cost o taking my family to the movies ONCE.

The fact that the average family can't afford to go to the movies as often drives down their profits. They need to find a way to use the internet to disseminate movies to a wider audience at a price the average family can afford.

Maybe if they figure out how to do this, they can make the internet as profitable as every other medium they have tried to crush throughout their history.
