Production Companies to Change Distributing Methods?

Kevin Spacey an actor from Netflix's show, "House of Cards" said, " Netflix has demonstrated they have learned the lesson that the music industry didn't – give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in at a reasonable price and they’ll more than likely pay for it rather than pirate it." He also said that television and production companies can learn from Netflix since "House of Cards" earned nine Emmy nominations, including best drama and the second season is on the way. He said that Netflix demonstrated that the audience want to control what they want to see and when they want to see it. Who knows if the big production companies will think about will change their ways but after seeing how successful Netflix is, they may consider the idea. As a consumer I wouldn't mind if television and production companies would distribute their shows or films like Netflix and I'm pretty sure everyone else wouldn't as well. Netflix lets us re-watch seasons of our favorites shows and movies and discover new ones to indulge ourselves in as well and all for one low cost, $8 a month. If companies were to consider the idea they may have higher ratings for their shows since now everyone has internet and wouldn't have to rely on channels that certain companies may have.

  1. Do you think more companies are going to start copying or following in Netflix's footsteps?
