I read an interesting article about this yesterday from the new CEO of Disney. He hits the nail on the head. Who knows when season 2 of BSG will air in Australia and I don't even think VM will continue to be showed here. Funny why Australia is on the top illegal download list. Because we are an English speaking country who always gets left out. Xbox 360 worldwide release. I didn't know the world was USA, Europe and Japan.
"Iger's wake-up call may be something of a first among big TV and movie industry execs, but it must be noted that the fundamental problem has been known for quite some time. As BigChampagne CEO Eric Garland noted back in 2003, the movie industry has to ask the hard questions: for instance, why do so many people "steal" content online? One reason is because the industry won't sell people what they want, when they want it. People who live in markets where Verionica Mars isn't available aren't going to wait until July 2006 to catch up on season 2, not if they know about other ways to get the content. "
