That sounds vaguely like my little cousin, complaining about Harry Potter circa two months ago.

Instant gratification isn’t a given.

To answer Don’s referenced Freakonomics question, ‘Why do drug dealers live with their Moms?’…answer: no rent and a FREE live-in housekeeper and CHEF. Duh.

Then subscribe to Showtime. Weeds will eventually out on DVD and iTunes, but if you want it NOW you subscribe. If you want it cheaper, or in a more convenient form. Wait.

Think of it as it’s out in hardcover, but later it’ll be out in a more convenient and economical package.

Now if you’re talking about an extra premium for early iTunes availability (3-5 dollars an episode?) that would be an intriguing model, and one that may steer some traffic away from bittorrents.

I would buy Weeds in heartbeat from iTunes - but only Season 2 is available there (why not season 1?).

I don’t want to subscribe to Showtime for this one show!! Sell it a la carte!

“They also sent me the next three episodes and a nice little schwag garden bag I’d give to my daughter of it didn’t says WEEDS on the side.” is a really interesting sentence.

So the answer to the original question - if drug dealers make so much money, why are they still living with their mothers? - is that, except for the top cats, they don’t make much money. They had no choice but to live with their mothers. For every big earner, there were hundreds more just scraping along. The top 120 men in the Black Disciples gang represented just 2.2 percent of the full-fledged gang membership but took home well more than half the money.

In other words, a crack gang works pretty much like the standard capitalist enterprise: you have to be near the top of the pyramid to make a big wage.

Instead of trying to game customers old media needs to sell product before potential customers lose interest and move on to competing available product.

I figure TV is moving to an on-demand model, and the Tivo is just a step in that direction. The founders of Tivo and Replay all cut their teeth in the VoD trials of the mid-90s, after all. But we can’t have a fully on-demand model until everybody has the means to store TV shows in or around the TV set, and that move is still taking place kinda slowly.

Personally, I have two DVR’s and a PC connected to my HDTV set, and I seem to watch programs from the Internet and from DirecTV more or less interchangeably. I’m probably 5 years ahead of the curve, however.

In order to have full-scale HDTV on-demand for everybody, a few little upgrades are going to be required to the delivery network, be it Internet or carrier-mediated IPTV. Paying for those upgrades is still a sticking point, and the Net Neutrality hysteria of a year ago didn’t help.

It seems to me that Showtime’s strategy is pretty clear: rather than collect a dollar a show from iTunes for Weeds, or $4 a month, they’d like to sell you the whole channel for $10/month. That would certainly appear to make economic sense to me, but I’m a network engineer, not an accountant.

Are you simply complaining because you’re too cheap to pay for Showtime?
