Accurate. Here are some wonderfully managed rights brought to you by DRM: * What devices and equipment can view it * Time limits on watching * Regional lockouts * Time shifted viewing The movie industry fights tooth and nail to "manage" our rights, not just with DRM by plain RM. In NZ for example there is a ban on parallel importing films for a period after release! Here is something interesting: http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/debates/debates/50HansD_20131015_00000020/copyright-parallel-importing-of-films-amendment-bill http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/pb/debates/debates/50HansD_20.... Choice quote: "The 5-month ban will effectively give cinemas a further 1 or 2 months to exclusively screen films without competition.". Feast your eyes on the pandering! There is no "transition" period going on. It's the movie theatres using laws to prop up their new business model of stealing 20 minutes of your time and selling it to advertisers, after taking 20NZD admission.
