Apparently the movie companies originally opposed video tape recording
because of the idea that 'one person could buy a copy of the movie and
then multiple people would watch it for free'!

Here we are proposing to do what was once Hollywood's worst nightmare.
OTOH, the subjects of the movie support this kind of openness, so the
whole thing has a pleasing symmetry to it.

Then, as it turned out, a whole new market opened up for movies which is
at least as lucrative as theatre showings.
