What rings true about the scene is that the distribution model is quite simply better. It's been said time and time again, but really, this fact is crucial. If I go out and buy a DVD I'll likely end up with a product that is inferior in quality as compared to whatever is listed on your favorite tracker; e.g. I can expect an annoying series of ads, anti-piracy warnings, and a poorly constructed menu. What the industry should do is recognize they're distribution is being outdone by laypeople and then find a way to emulate this kind of model. In other words, distribute over the Internet in a frictionless way. We already know if done properly, people are even willing to pay! It's clear: people want a quality product, they want to own it (i.e. no DRM), and they're even willing to pay for it.
