Gee I don't know. Why are people still renting videos from Netflix when you can watch 500 free movies on YouTube? I think you're being specious.
There are already companies making money with this model. Just because don't *want* to use it, doesn't mean that they aren't going to be *forced* to use it, by the market.
Now I can rent a DVD for one dollar a day at 7 eleven. So what is Blockbuster going to do with that? Go down to one dollar also? Or go out of business? Or do the online thing for say... fifty cents? And which is smarter? Fighting or changing?
If you can't adapt, then you're doomed. Just ask the giant tree sloth, and the woolley mammoth.
