But why should theatres be protected ? .. They are just the distribution medium , not the art itself

  Even while they cost more, they give a lot of people jobs. Not everything needs to be as sufficient as possible. ( eg. Robots are taking over jobs in China at a high rate, while they already were very cheap considering globally)

    I imagine a late 1800's version of you would also require car owners to use their horse and buggy exclusively at least once a week because it will "give a lot of people jobs". That's some sloppy reasoning.

      Buy car or buy a horse is the same and vastly different of the point I was making. Not everything needs to go to the international companies. I'm also not against car sharing, buy a car to share or to have is also a bought car. Prereleasing a movie in theatres is not that bad for everyone, giving the exclusive streaming rights to one streaming party is much worse. Ps. Already a lot of movie renters are out of business, but I wouldn't protect them as I do with cinemas.
