Three days ago, I posted regarding an almost off-handed comment by Mickey Kaus regarding the MPAA's move toward an anti-file-sharing litigation strategy (Motion Picture Studio Chiefs Want MPAA to Adopt Anti-File-Sharing Litigation Strategy). Yesterday, the LA Times (reg. req.) published a much more indepth analysis of this new blockbuster strategy (Is Hollywood Failing to See the Big Picture?). The article should be required reading for anyone following these issues and there are certainly some interesting quotes:

Warner's chief, Meyer, predicts that "there is a day coming when, to properly protect movies from piracy, we'll leverage off the original theatrical marketing campaign and release movies any way the consumer wants it — on his computer, on his TV or at Wal-Mart — all at the same time."
