kudos:1 | Advertisement Revenue Just because the distribution platform from the traditional broadcast model to an online platform doesn't necessarily mean that its unprofitable.
a) There is nothing that stops a studio from placing ads either prior to a show or in the middle (ala commericals) like they do today. Yeah some guy can rip the movie and take them out but who would really bother going through the trouble of downloading it off of torrent when you can get it faster and easier with the commericials from the official site?
b) I seem to recall hearing something to the affect that the revenue stream obtained via commercials has either been decreasing or stagnant in growth and that was a big reason why they started doing product placements in the movie itself. Now im not sure if that flows downstream to the cable companies but maybe they need to have some discussions over that.

Panama City, FL | I think you mean they are using more product placement in movies/tv shows. Thats been an advertising tool for as long as I can remember. Remember ET and Reeces? |

After someone at M&M (I forget the corporate name) turned down the request for M&Ms Placement so the producers fell back to using Reeces. |
