You have argued that there should be access shifting. How far should that go. What could be the legit excuses. Maybe if you were handicapped and physically were unable to make it to the theater then you are allowed to download it. What if the nearest theater was 30 miles away? Is that far enough to allow for access shifting to take place? What if you have a kid and can't find a babysitter?
I'm just looking for an idea here. If it were up to you what fair use rights would you make content producers grant? You lay down the rules and they have to follow them. What rules would you put in place?

we have already talked about access shifting and the full support for that fair use
provide the content for every medium at the exact same time
play it in the theater
on tv
online
on dvd
all on the exact same day
make all the money from selling it all those medium without artifically inflating any of it, by extending the media monopoly to the medium.
if you would make x dollars if the medium competed, and x+y by limiting Medium competition then y represents abusing fair use.
it simple don't extend the content monopoly to any medium.
