hollywood intervention: studios

Dear Suits,

A parable:

Once there was a man who wanted to watch a certain movie. He first tried to stream the movie, but NetFlix didn't have it available. Nor did Amazon. Nor Hulu.

Then the man tried to rent the movie, but Dish did not offer that service. Nor did Xbox Live. Nor the Playstation Network.

Determined, the man tried to buy the movie, but it was absent from iTunes.

Moral: he who makes doing the right thing a 37-step exercise in futility deserves the wrong thing.

Meh,
john
