1 edit | When will they figure out that times are a changing? The MPAA and RIAA are loosing profit on me as well. I am one of the older people with money to spend where I choose to. I have gone through the rough times in youth were you live from paycheck to paycheck. I now have excess income to spend.
I got rid of my Time Warner cable service many months ago. I do not miss it at all!
I set up a server for my TV, Movie, and Music needs. The server has the CD and DVD collection that I bought over many years. I can listen or watch them when I please. I can add to the collection in the rare case that the MPAA or RIAA comes out with something I'm willing to pay for. I can watch Hulu or subscribe to Metflix if I want. I can stream the digital-over-the-air TV if I want. Yes, I have the converter box for digital TV.
Companies like Time Warner/Road Runner need to look at a different model for delivering content. If Road Runner offered the TV content that they offer on their Time Warner cable service with some modifications as to availability, viewing times, cost per-view, etc., I might use it. Might, if the price is consistent with value!
Companies like Time Warner/Road Runner don't seem to realize that it needs to work as a Single Company rather than competing with itself.
When the CEO, CFO, COO, or what ever get their heads out of where the sun don't shine then they may have a chance at competing against piracy. |
