Kevin Spacey clearly gets it. Rampant piracy is an indication of a failing
business model. It's not that people aren't willing to pay, and that's
evidenced by the success of Netflix and shows like House of Cards. Same can be
said of Steam's game distribution model. Give people what they want, how they
want it, at a fair price, and you'll surely be able to make money.

I like the message -- and the messenger in this case -- a lot. Having read the
full transcript of his speech, I'm trying to imagine what he might have left
out, what his opponents will use to dismiss this event.

Off-hand, the easy out would be that 'giving people what they want' is
actually pretty costly. The steep pilot culling selects for mass appeal. If
80% of the (paying) viewing public like a pilot, it's probably a low-risk
venture with pretty predictable rewards. If those returns (ROI) are sufficient
to keep the studio running, do the people writing the checks really care that
more niche products _might_ gain slightly better rewards?

Yeap. Locking it all away for an absurdly high price or just giving it all
away are suboptimal. Charge a "no brainer" price that most people won't have a
problem with is supply meeting demand more optimally... For potentially
_higher_ profits.
