Thinking a bit more on the subject of lowering OTA quality as a
means of price discrimination and copy protection. It occurs to
me that OTA producers are maybe missing the boat a bit here.
Since more and more $$$ are being generated in DVD sales you would
think that any possible candidate for those eventual sales would
be at least R rated. Every time they make a TV episode they
should film just a couple quick scenes that would not go onto the
OTA or airplane version. Just a quick breast shot here and there
would probably do wonders if held in reserve for the "uncut" DVD
sales and also make it a candidate for reruns on premium channels
in full form.
Do TV producers do this?
