Release Windows
[ reply to this | link to this | view in chronology ]
Re: Release Windows
Sales to the public this is laughable but to make the illusion of value for other companies this worked well for many years.
Those windows are not for the public they are for other companies, other third parties that they want to extract money from, they don't think of the public as their biggest consumers, they think of retailers as their consumers they don't want to deal with the public because it is messy and unpleasant.
This is what file-sharing vanquished. Those 3rd parties are now history or at least this is what they think, the problem is there is still 3rd parties out there but they don't want to deal with them because they are smarter than they are and will rip all of the benefits(i.e. Apple, Google, Intel, Nokia and so on).
Convergence is the game.

Re: Re: Release Windows
Delaying the release may hurt a 3rd party (Redbox) but if it doesn't help the primary manufacturer (movie studios) then what is the point? Basically it has driven more people to Netflix (for older streaming flix) and torrents (for new releases).

I'm counting the minutes till somebody comments that this is "surrendering to piracy" and shameful.

Nobody cares if geeks, nerds and dorks steal content.
Wouldn't want to stop how all of you gain inner fulfillment in your empty, worthless lives, now would we? That'd just be mean.
The idea is to stop it from being so easy for normal people to do so.

Does this mean I can stop taping the radio when I'm listening to it? I can finally throw out all my blank cassette tapes?

Some of the biggest problems with entertain industries today is that the lawyer and the accountant seem to be running the show. Their only solutions are moves that either legate a solution or cut something off to save money. Over time you get what you have now as the face that the public sees. It's not an attractive one either.
Before all this came to be, you had actual musicians running the music labels and they understood that culture was an integral part of music.
Today's group management doesn't have a clue, only a series of bitches. (wonders whom will get the double meaning of that one)

Jamendo just kick their a. every time.
What I get:
- Free music to listen to, not to use it though..
- Low prices.
- Lyrics.
- Art, fan art
- My RIGHT(that is right) back to show the music I like to others. That is right I can put that on a filesharing website for others to listen to, no music police knocking on the door.
- The pleasure to say to copytards "I don't need you baby, go beg elsewhere"

Reason
Position on the sales charts isn't as important as it used to be, so it makes a lot of sense to drop the policy. Of course it would have made sense to do this a long time ago. In a free market this kind of delay would have been punished, but when you are running a government-protected business little things like rationality and market demand don't matter very much.
