And so would their most valuable revenue streams. Until more people cut the cable there's just not going to be a way for any service to approach TPB's breadth.

- Nursie 14y agoTrue, but I don't think the content producers would have to go all the way to that breadth of stuff... I'm pretty sure there is a revenue stream to tap somewhere there. It's not going be an easy one as the clientèle have become used to DRMless content with no ads, for free and on demand, but it has to be there.
- dasil003 14y agoWell there's iTunes and Netflix. Don't those count? edit: sorry I looked back and realized you meant global day and date releases. All the services want to provide that, but big content is not ready to play ball on that unless you can make a commercial case for it—iTunes is still an order of magnitude away, and Netflix is two orders of magnitude. But where it gets interesting is Netflix getting into the production game, that's an opportunity to route around the greed and jump start the inevitable future. Big content is not stupid and they understand this is going to happen, but at the same time they have no incentive to hasten their paycut.
