Am I right to presume that this system with regional licences was set up by the studios themselves? What stops a studio from skipping their regional partners and just release their content worldwide?
The internet doesn't really know regions, so local distribution partners are no longer a concern (Except maybo for localizing content).
- mikecane 15y agoThis same thing is a problem with eBooks. They haven't come to grips with it yet.
- RealGeek 15y agoProblem is Internet distribution is still a small percentage of their business and most distribution partners demand exclusive rights. Distribution of content globally via Internet would still require regional monetization effort like regional advertisers and payment processing.
