> Meanwhile, the movie industry is soundly asleep at the wheel and its execs don't recognize that the consumer demands (near-instant access, no copy protection, no unskippable FBI warnings, no unskippable teasers, and no freaking region lock) have greatly diverged from their offerings.

Are you implying that people still use DVDs or Blu-rays?

If you are, I got genuinely curious, because in Brazil at least, I'm quite certain they got nearly extinct. Here, is Netflix, cable (or satellite), online "channels" as HBO-Go or torrent.

Based on that, it appears to me that consumer demands already won.

Walmart has a huge selection. People buy them. Even the local grocery chain has all the new releases. People stay renting at the Redbox, too. I don't know what the absolute numbers are on the industry but plenty of people like them.
