Why not a NetFlix Pro?

“Just been to google search for mission impossible. Wow, several sites offering free links. I rest my case.” - Rupert Murdoch on Twitter

Not so fast there Rupert.

My follow up question is, among all of those options for watching this first run movie on demand, where is the paid-but-legal option? I can’t find it Mission Impossible IV, for any price, from a legitimate online business such as the iTunes store, Amazon, or NetFlix.

That is to say, why are movie theaters the only venue allowed to show first run films? What I see here is a huge shift in consumer demand and an industry not even trying to meeting it. Now that I can watch movies in my home, on my own schedule, without having to travel to the mall in my car, I simply prefer it to the only legal option available to me. By not offering any alternative the MPAA is creating the black market that it claims it is eating away at its profits. We need to have a law that requires people have to go to movie theaters to see newly released movies? Who says you still need to do things the old way?

Just as the demand of music releases has shifted from number of CDs sold to downloads, opening weekends for movies need to start shifting from box office sales to number of downloads. Racks full of servers, not lines around the block.

NetFlix and other sites already set up for legally streaming movies. They are only allowed to offer films after the DVD release. Why not offer a Pro account that includes the latest TV and movie releases? What is this waiting for? Charge whatever premium monthly rate it would cost to make up for the losses in box office sales. People will pay.

Hollywood should watch some of its own science fiction movies. In 2012 it doesn’t make any sense that there is a film / show in a digital format that is only allowed to be played in a specific location at a specific time.
