  See? This is what a smart artist actually has to say about it.
  
  And really, can you imagine how much money the studios would make if they did this:
  
  1. Release the movie in theaters.

  4. Release the DVD. Keep stream up.

  Re: Lost sales?

  Don't laugh. I have a friend who's a pretty well-known amazon reviewer, and she's been lectured by bratty authors who insist she's going to make them go broke by reviewing their works.
