Streaming Held Back
Over the last few weeks, TNL writer, Tristan Louis, has been looking at the availability of movies and TV shows that came out in the past year. But what about movies that were released two years ago? Are those more available today than they were a year ago?

The data shows that the Studios are holding back, presumably priming demand for sales instead of easier and less-expensive downloads. Can’t say if their strategy is helping their bottom line, but it’s a real poke in the eye for viewers. http://www.tnl.net/blog/2012/01/28/streaming-held-back/
There is still a long way before legal online streaming matches DVD sales as it appears movie studios are still addicted to selling pieces of plastic than they are to selling movies in any form available.
