The fact is they still do things the old way, when clearly the market and consumer behavior has changed. It's about doing things in a different way, that could quell some piracy and perhaps make studios even more money in the long-term.

Your too young to remember the "old way". There was once a time when you had to wait years for a movie to be released for the home market, and with TV shows sometimes even decades.
If they put movies the day after or a year after, it's not going to stop people from putting it online and other people from ripping it. You have two different demographics mixed up - the people that are going to buy it don't know how to rip movies online, or don't bother with it.
