Movie, TV Purchasing Could Rebound: nScreenMedia

Owning a movie or TV show, rather than streaming it, could make a comeback due in part to the popularity of ad-supported subscription VOD, nScreenMedia Colin Dixon blogged Sunday. At least some subscribers would presumably want to avoid ads for a particular piece of content, and could do so by buying it, he said. Innovations including blockchain video network Eluvio -- which allows purchase of video with bonus features or to sell a video the way one might sell a DVD -- also could help reverse the decline in purchasing of video, he said.
