Maybe movie studios should encourage illegal DVD copying. Can't get more branded than 20th Century FOX, Paramount or Disney. Illegal copying will instill brand name loyalty of studios in people's heads and maybe one day they'll decide to stop getting DVD's for FREE and PAY for them. Um...yeah sounds logical.

I see what you are saying but you cant exactly apply the issues of Hollywood to what Harrison is saying ... Becuz hes kind of on another subject ... But, speaking of Hollywood. Have you been to the movies lately? The thing about movie theaters is that the biggest consumers is teens and young adults. Box office sales have sucked dick lately and have been getting worse. Is it because you can download these movies right when they come out? I dont think so. I think its similar to the porn industrys problem - distribution mediums, and delivery. Forget the infringers for a second... Because the music industry has its fair share of infringers yet artists are STILL able to sell CDs...
Problem with Hollywood box office, as i see it, is that... they come out with DVD versions TOOOOOOOOO fucking quick. Usually within 2 or 3 months now from a movies last show. A few years back, even with DVD technology out, they didnt come out with the DVD version of the movie THAT quick, and most of the time people didnt assume a movie would automatically come out on DVD. So now people are sitting and thinking, when a movie comes out 'Well, i could just wait a 2 or 3 months when it comes out on DVD and rent it for $3, watch it in the comfort of my own home without getting ripped the fuck off at the movies with a $9 ticket and bag of popcorn that costs nearly as much'. I dunno. Thats just an example.. and a rant Ive heard many times over from different people.
I think the morale of this thread is: change your approach / delivery
