I am amazed how many traditional DVD producers and companies have failed to grasp the concept that the DVD business is dead, and that Blu-Ray is not going to save it.

This is from today's AVN.com about Third Degree letting Amy Ried out of her contract.

"We just came to an agreement to go our separate ways," he said. "She had a lot more that she wanted to do; for example, she wants to do a lot more internet, and we?re just not there yet."

Wilson said Third Degree is "finally turning the corner" in its plans for future growth, with an emphasis on hi-def and interactive productions to be released on Blu-ray disc.

"Blu-ray is more conducive to the quality we?re doing [than standard DVD]," said Wilson. "We have four HD DVDs out now, so we?ll reissue those in Blu-ray. We hope to do at least one every other month, between us and [sister studio] Zero Tolerance. We?ll see what the schedule allows."

I wonder how many companies are not going to make the transition to an internet based distribution model and will go out of business in the next year.
