There was an interesting report on NPR yesterday about how Hollywood wants to change the movie release model. Instead of you buying a movie, then renting or buying it again later, you pay a higher premium your rights to it. So say you buy a high price ticket then later can download the movie for free. Also, the delay from theater to download would be weeks instead of months.

With movie sales declining Hollywood seems to be looking for more profitable ways to make money. What are your thoughts?

Also, studios are pushing to shorten the time between a movie being in theaters and when it hits other forms of media.
