iTunes was criticized as a Monopoly, but it frigging revolutionized the music business. Steve Jobs, who first of all was a super music buff if there was one, wanted exactly this. Easy accessibility. He started with compromises (DRMs and so on) and then moved on to make the giants crumble down to the current obviousness of ubiquitous music access.
Ten years later we need something that large and global, but for the movie business. It's harder and Steve's not around to kick movie executives asses anymore, but a service like Popcorn Time is very useful: they show exactly what people want and they should be a ringing bell for the movie industries. That's the way to follow, movie folks: do it or die painfully.
