Apple fighting movie studios to keep 4K films priced at $20 on iTunes
Yes, people buy movies, because they want to be able to watch a movie any time; streaming is fine on a whim (Netflix competes with HBO in this way) but being unable to watch/share a favorite movie because of blackouts, etc. is maddening. The technical side of movie-making (4-6K cameras, editing, etc.) is LESS EXPENSIVE than it ever has been in the past (relatively). This is why Oats, and other tiny studios can produce compelling content that embarrass Hollywood. Charging MORE for crappy 4k blockbusters (or remastered classics) is the NON-creative studio tyrants milking the stupid public. I assure you, the creatives aren't seeing a dime of this gouge.
