you do realize that tv stations PAY for the right to show a movie
they are not giving away anything on tv.

There is no way a movie studio is going to spend 200 million dollars making a movie only to give it away on TV.

tv stations would never have created ondemand if the vcr had not forced them to compete either. The fact is they made way more money forcing people to watch the re-run with all the commercials included.
A new fair use needs to be created to stop that abuse, once that happens movie producers will produce content that allows theaters to compete on a technological basis.
RGBY filmed content which will look superior to anything you can see on your RGB tv at home.
the technology would perculate down to the tv over time, and 60 trillion dollar / year (assuming the adoption speed of surround sound is consistent with the new technologies that come down the pike) of new technology would replace 350 million lost due to "piracy".
Even if you were assuming that the fabricated piracy numbers currently declared by the MPAA is correct that a win for the US economy.

If they released it simultaneously on DVD/pay-per-view/pay per download etc all at once it might cut some of it down, but I still think there are still a lot of people out there who would still not pay because they simply don't want to and think they are entitled to have it for free.
If it were released in pay-per-view/DVD/paid download at the same time it were released in the theater just about everyone would have access to buy it in some way shape or form, but there would still be a lot of people who wouldn't.

but that would still not be a fair use friendly solution, all mediums would have to get the movie at the same time, and that would include commercial tv.
if access shifting were to come about, then the act of ignoring a medium would entitle someone who wanted to fill that need to fill that need.
That would be a good thing (60 trillion dollar a year in new technology).
