Itunes boutique label - Blu-ray Forum

Hi!

Was thinking if people here would buy boutique label movies on itunes.

In mind I have : Scorpion releasing, Vinegar Syndrome, Code Red, Unearthed films, Cult epics etc...

Also, In hope of creating a discussion here, how can we put a little pressure for the boutique labels to start selling movies on itunes...

I formyself, I would gladly buy a bunch of Vinegar Syndrome movie on itunes.

Thanks all !

Well, some of their releases they may only have physical disc rights to, so that might limit them...
And in some cases they are limited to a set number of sales (like, they can only make 1000 discs and would have to negotiate a new contract to make more). Digital is handled differently, maybe only make it available for purchase for a set amount of time or something...

The other issue they may run into is getting the film up in iTunes. They'd have to pay an aggregator to do that for them, which costs money. Then they'd have to sell enough to make it worth their while. Granted, that cost I would think would be less than the cost of manufacturing 1000-5000 Blu-ray discs, so I suppose the potential is there...

Do any of them have any titles in iTunes? If they've at least done it for one title, it might be easier to talk them into more...
