I noticed that at the bottom of the article the reason behind this is basically to adopt technologies to improve streaming services. Could this movement also be used to bring in new royalty free physical media?
Call me a tin foil hat lover but I do not like the fact that everything is going streaming. People are so dependant on having to move nothing more than a couple fingers for entertainment.
Well, I ask you good Sir and Madam what are you going to do when streaming services shut down? In (15)years when majority of people look at physical media like a homeless person. Let's say one day taps run dry on streaming services. (Oh no cataclysmic internet outage)
Guess what?
All those great tv shows and movies?
Lost to your and everyone elses finger tips.
As long as there is power and my VHS doesn't eat my tapes - I will always be able to show what life was like before streaming ended the entertainment industry. ;)
