Challenges for the movie download industry

I have been arguing for some time now that, among others, those two are really important challenges for the new Movie Download Industry in order to succedd:



  1. Quality: with HD TV becoming more a more popular, what is the reason to buy a movie on Internet with qualities close to DVD: "4 times less than a HD TV movie"

  2. Piracy: with the option of downloading content for free, what is the incentive to pay per content.

It seems that Duggmirror shares my concerns at some level. In that webpage, they made an interesting analysis linking both concepts. It seems that not only is free, but pirated movies have higher quality with similar file sizes than iTunes Movies. It is going to be a tough market to compete in.
