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.

there is only one reason you would stagger the release
and that to make more money
if you made exactly the same money you would not do that, because your profits would be lower, you would have to advertise 4 times.
all that extra profit comes from granting a monopoly to the medium
you don't have a right to grant new monopolies
in fact using one monopoly to create another is
suppose to be sherman anti trust violation
that the point
that all i am trying to prevent

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.

funny
you want monopoly profits from extending distribution monopoly to medium and your arguing the attempt to stop that sherman anti trust abuse is a shakedown

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

but it the same exact law that makes it legal
you can't have it both ways
if the copyright holder has a right to control the medium then both should be illegal
if the copyright holder doesn't have the right to control the medium that both should be legal
that the point.

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

you said i was wrong and that transmission thru the cloud was distribution
your exact words

You are distributing it to other people and you don't have that right.

timeshifting in a cloud said public transmission was not public distribution.
it doesn't have to say it have a right to distribute (and i never said it did)
it says it not distribution.
