think about it for a second
the current model of granting exclusivity to a venue is killing innovation
imagine what theaters would do to compete if dvd/ppv/television got the movie on the same day.
They would have no choice but to use technology that only cost effective at the theater level to make the viewing experience valuable enough to justify the inconvience.
6 spectrum color/ autoscopic 3d/ ofactory triggers/
that technology would perculate down to home market.
All that technology is being held back because of the access shifting abuse.
Take a look at the technologies that can be traced back to the commercialization of solid state disk (after diamond rio gave us the format shifting fair use)
that what we are losing so that movie producers can make an extra $3-4 per showing.
