    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.
