Imo the best thing the movie industry could do is provide their own online service for movies

It would still suffer the problems of it being copied/hacked and the issues with drm and watermarking but if priced right and doesnt suffer from draconian drm around it then there wont be much point in doing so.

Like itunes* for movies, except with a monthly subscription which provides instant access to all movies, on demand with no restrictions on how many you can see or when you see them.
Moves away from the issue of movies as property towards a service based system.

*part of the reason for itunes success imo is the weak drm on it. Its enough to 'please' the music industry while not being anal enough to piss people off too much by using it
