Cnet ’s Greg Sandoval reportsattitudes even among help in Hollywood have shifted as Netflix has become Brobdingnagian , disrupting the studio ’ revenue models by castrate sales of airline picture , making films unassailable by cable connection and even gently pretend new videodisc gross sales — yes , some people are that patient , waiting for them to show up on streaming . If it ’s up to the studios , here ’s what ’ll happen in reply , according to Sandoval :
Netflix will be the Internet equivalent of a swap sports meeting , where only the most dated and least popular titles are uncommitted . The studios are betting that eventually people will get bore with the serving .
They desire it to be an outlet for “ the least - worthful material , ” i.e. , the bullshit you do n’t desire to catch . Criterion pulling outwould just be the commencement .
get it on over Netflix and its endorser when it comes to the contentedness they wanna watch is only part of Hollywood ’s whizz plan to make more money , of course — the other part , state Sandoval , is pushingUltraViolet , a new DRM scheme cooked up for swarm - based pic storehouse and watching , the estimation being you could look on digital stuff on anything , anywhere . Of of course , I ’m totally sure it wo n’t be a Brobdingnagian flustercuck like every massive DRM scheme wangle up by film studio and record recording label .
