While South Korea may be in the vanguard of both piracy and broadband use, both trends are on the rise through the world, Warner executives said. Digital movie distribution is increasing in the United States and increasing faster in many parts of Europe. And now the studio is looking to create more options for selling movies than the relatively rigid distribution schedule they have used. Indeed, it is exploring various hybrids, such as allowing someone to watch a movie instantly on the Internet and then receiving a physical disc in the mail.
�All this technology is clearly pushing consumers to ask studios to watch their favorite movies and programs the way they want instead of how it was offered,� Mr. Cardon said. |
