Yahoo! has an article about how the adult industry is getting ready to support downloads of DVDs while Hollywood still hasn’t gotten their act together. Article does point out something interesting though: it might not be completely Hollywood’s fault. Hollywood has had to depend on theaters and stores for revenue for a long time and they are all intertwined. If Hollywood wants to change how it does business by directly selling to the consumer, all the theaters and big chains like Wal-Mart are going to get PO’ed.

Seriously, some of studios should sell some of their good older movies online. Seriously doubt Wal-Mart would care if Hollywood sold old Spencer Tracy or Katherine Hepburn movies directly to the consumer. Get mainstream used to the idea and the Wal-Marts of the world will come up with their business model to support downloading.
