Video industry looks for next move on Internet front

While there have been some positive steps recently, the video industry remains slow to embrace innovative, commercially viable ways to migrate TV and film content over to the Internet, according to this report. "Studios are feeling their way through," said Rick Bolton, the chief executive officer of Film Fresh, a digital-downloads firm. "On the one hand, they have the cautionary tale of the music industry before them, and on the other, they have the relatively positive example of the TV side's relationship with iTunes. But the consumer is going to decide where this all is going, not the corporate side."
