all we are talking about is not giving you the right to stop fair market competition for mediums you have abandoned.
if you don't then someone else can step in.
they even have to obey special rules that prevent them from directly profiting from the support of that medium.
that more than enough competitive advantage for the mediums you want to support because for most mediums the cost would make it infeasible to support for free.

Do you not see that by saying this you are defacto forcing me to distribute in all mediums? You are simply saying that if I don't put my movie out in the medium of your choice you will simply take it or that someone else will distribute it on the medium of your choice. That is kind of like saying to someone, you can give me the $5 I want, or I will just take it from you.
Maybe this is my plan. I release a movie into the theater. 1 year later I sell it on DVD. 1 year after that I sell it to pay cable. 1 year after that I sell it to free TV.
But since I didn't release it on DVD at the same time I put it in the theater you are saying that you should have the right to then download it because you can't get to the theater and since it isn't for sale in your area you aren't damaging me. But you don't know that I will be selling it on DVD, it is just going to take time.
So unless I release it how you want it and when you want it you will just take it. Growing up we called that a shakedown.

so deliver re runs 3 months from now rather then let people tape the show and watch it when they want
guess what that fair use damaged the tv stations they lost the revenue from that second running of ads.
you may want that right, but you gave that up when you agreed to the special "licieincing" business model granted by the copyright act.

I have always said that when something has aired on TV I have no problem with people recording it or downloading it.

So the supreme court has said that if you buy my DVD you have the right to distribute it? Please show me that ruling.
