The failure of many of the large studios to do something productive on the web years ago is fucking them in the ass right now. With a very few exceptions, video companies going to web have totally fucked it up. Now it's too late. DVD is dying a slow death and they don't have a web presence. Shit, I'd wager that half of them don't even have their shit encoded for the web in the right formats or traffic to a domain they own. Of course DVD will never die, unless a new format replaces it, but it is surely being kicked in the balls right now. People are upside down on mortgages, gas and food prices are crippling the middle class that once had a few hundred dollars between paychecks. Nothing is recession proof. How do I start charging people for air?
