,----[ Quote ]

| store and stealing Pringles or a handbag".
|
| Murdoch, the chairman and chief executive of
| News Corporation's European and Asian
| operations, was joined in calling for
| tougher piracy measures at the Abu Dhabi
| Media Summit today by other media executives
| including Ari Emanuel, co-chief executive of
| William Morris Endeavor, the biggest
| Hollywood talent agency.

Hollywood's Post-theatrical Problem, Isn't
,----[ Quote ]
| That is, the analogue side - ticket sales in
| the cinemas - is soaring, while the digital
| part - those "post-theatrical markets" - are
| on the way down. And that's absolutely
| inevitable, of course, because the scarcity
| is all on the analogue side, while the
| digital artefacts - downloads, DVDs and Blu-
| ray - have close to zero marginal cost (not
| so true for DVDs and Blu-ray, but close
| enough), so you'd expect their prices and
| profits to diminish.
