I received confirmation that Warner Home Video will be closing their local subsidiary office late next month in line with a GLOBAL REORGANIZATION to STREAMLINE OPERATIONS and CUT COST.
Just a thought...this might be more of a "repackaging" on how films will be distributed from now on. Maybe next time, no more dvd's...DIGITAL FILES na ang ibebenta?
It all falls into place...
GLOBAL REORGANIZATION - naturally, a move from hard copy to soft copy of films would really have a global reorganization of some sort. Lets not forget, we are in the DIGITAL era.
STREAMLINE OPERATIONS - this will be greatly affected as well, since they will have to find a way to legally distribute films in digital files, without it being copied or shared, just like buying an original dvd for yourself at present. Alot of movie files downloaded from torrents are ripped from either DVD, HDD or BD as sources. Eliminating these "hard copies" would really give them control on the streamlining/distribution of the DIGITAL files.
CUT COST - by distributing digital files, you cut cost by not using raw materials for the disc and packaging as well. Lower overhead expenses globally.
Oh well....just my 2 cents! I could be wrong you know...
