Re: Control your media better.
You mean, like, with a DRM scheme of some sort? That worked really well for the music industry, didn't it?
Not really meaning to be sarcastic here and certainly, in general, no defender of the movie industry and their absurd business practices but I have to admit that this is a kind of Catch 22 for them.
The studios have every right to try and protect their IP, but if they add stringent DRM, legitimate consumers (who *should* have the right to make copies their purchased media so they can play it on any device they own), as well as freetards, will bitch to high heaven, complain that it's pointless as the DRM will eventually be broken, etc, etc.
With the wide availability of stream-capture software, it's hard to see a streaming-only solution being the answer.
Couple of obvious suggestions to ease the losses due to piracy:
> lower prices on the product so people are more willing to buy it, rather than pirate it
> make better movies
