Studios shouldn’t own the methods of transmission such as:

  • theaters
  • cable channels
  • broadcast networks
  • streaming channels
  • satellite tv channels
  • fiber optic networks
  • cable internet

We already decided this ages ago, but it’s currently being ignored.

The problem is that now the distribution holds the power, not the studio. Netflix already became a studio.
