Instead of rolling out DVD sales the DAY a movie opens to rake in even more astronomical profits, they trickle out content at their leisure. Quantum Of Solace, MGM and Sony worst James Bond movie in the history of James Bond movies opened in US on Nov 19th, or so, raking in over 70million/usd its first day. Now, there is a DVD screener (screener is an industry supplied DVD copy of the movie specifically for insiders to review the movie for placement, and awards reviews. Thanks again to insiders in the movie industry.) already circulating the darknet of P2P communities, with the inclusion of 'For Your Consideration' pasted over the bottom of the screen. Again, this only goes to prove that people will get what they want in this digital age, regardless of what The Evil Empire dictates. I am already watching this DVD screener, and I tell you, when it comes to James Bond movies, I thought the Peirce Brosnan versions were bad, this one brings bad movie to a new high. Lost sale? my ass, I would NEVER have gone to pay to see this garbage, and I would never have found out how bad it was if it wasn't for the darknet. The main stream media keeps quoting the dollars its raking in, did any of them review the movie? or even go see it? Yet the sheeple keep lining the pockets of these dinosaurs by going to see garbage content spat out by the MAFIAA. p.s. --> freeman, I wrote the article above :) here is a perfect example of how the MAFIAA just can’t get it right.

This is good info, I noticed this information on ArsTechnica while doing research for this article.

It might give Jon or you a topic for some future date if you want to get into it. For the first time, Atlantic has made more money for music sales this year by digital sales than for physical media. http://www.p2pnet.net/story/17701 At the same time, song writers have a contract that they will be paid for the digital download. However not the same for the artist. The on line sales is far lower than the physical media rate for payment of royalties. Plus they want the ability to assign a promotional tag and get out of paying anything to the artist at all. So an artist could have their total album claimed to be promotional, the labels would be paid, the songwriters would be paid, but the artist would not get one cent out of it. Talk about representing your artists and thievery in the same sentence. I am positive without proof, that this was on purpose with an eye on the future, knowing that digital is to be the next format to replace the cd.
