I'm trying to brainstorm what a model that embraced p2p would look like in the context of the movie industry. For music, it means concert ticket prices have gone way up. To some extent, I think the same effect can be seen in movie ticket prices (though production budgets have skyrocketed for blockbuster movies over time and this also affects movie ticket prices). I paid $17 to go see Avatar in IMAX!
I think the music industry can get by w/ higher and higher concert prices because each concert/venue is a separate,unique product and people don't mind paying for a band they really like. In the movie industry, although there is a small subset of moviegoers who will go see the same movie 6 times in the theater, the product is completely consistent through each viewing so after a certain point of price hikes, I think less and less people will attend movies in the theater.
