Great post from LeMew on Hollywood’s revenue “problem,” which is, in reality, not a problem at all. People may not be going to the movies as much, but any money lost from that revenue stream is picked up on the back end.
I also feel like a splendid little scammer, since I neither “pay 20 bucks to see a movie in the theater or pay 20 bucks to buy the DVD.” We wait until our local video store has a buy 2 get 2 free sale, and then we buy used copies of new films, which generally works out to be about $7 a DVD or less. Often, we can get a new release within a week of its coming out, as they very quickly don’t have use for the eight bazillion copies they made available for rental.
