Coinstar: Standing Up to Continued Challenges from Hollywood [View article]
Contrary to Joey554 Redbox thumbed their noses at the studios and bought the DVD's the Studio's would not sell to them for thirty days at retail prices. Then they are legally entitled once they own the use of that copyrighted DVD to rent them to the General Public. So the studios gained nothing. There is absolutely nothing the studios can do. Redbox is also at every McDonalds.
You are missing a key player Redbox. The ability to go to a local kiosks and get a movie for a buck. They are at McDonalds, Walgreens, Walmarts among other locations. They could easily switch to downloadable format where you insert your own USB. I am not going to rely on Microsoft nor my Internet provider for telling me what I can watch and when (including advertisements). Both microsoft and internet service providers will hose me every chance they get.
