Focus – The Future of Video Renting
Distributors and distribution technologies come and go, so Blockbuster should rightly go, or have to evolve into an on-line video distributor (like Netflix).
Video will of course be downloaded or streamed in the future, like music is today. Providers of media make much more money that way (prices are still like for physical media, yet doesn’t cost anything to produce and distribute), and there’s no need for middle-men that take a cut, so there’s clearly nothing stopping it even from the media companies’ side., even though they continue complaining.
