Quote by: Chancellor So, you'll find a way to eat the whole pie instead of just a piece? That seems awfully selfish of you. |
You are trying so hard to argue that you missed the point.
I can eat a slice of pie and I know how the whole pie will be. You can eat a sample in the store and that's the whole product.
But a movie trailer... or 10 seconds from a song on a CD... are not enough to determine spending money on.
Unlike food, which is designed to be consistent throughout, a movie or CD represents dynamic art. That means that you might see a great scene from a shitty movie, or hear an uninteresting part of a great CD.
I agree with
Isherwood as far as using P2P. I think it shows how interested people are in the media in question.
Why not release an entire feature film on a small, 320x200 video download? Let someone decide if it's worth seeing on the big screen. The video rental industry is booming right now because people would rather pay $5 to rent and watch at home than $10 per person, plus food and gas, to watch in a theater on someone else's terms.
