While posting and commenting in this community, you must abide by the Lemmy.World Terms of Service: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

  1. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or advocating violence will be removed.

  2. Be civil: disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally insult others.

  3. Spam, self promotion, trolling, and bots are not allowed

  4. Shitposts and memes are allowed until they prove to be a problem.

    Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.

    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

Failure to follow these guidelines will result in your post/comment being removed and/or more severe actions. All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I really hope this is a good thing. I don't want to see theaters die, but I really hope Sony doesn't interfere with the things that make Alamo Drafthouse great... I really hope they can rectify the closure of all the DFW locations as well.

Great, so instead of fixing the issue of studios owning their own streaming platforms and locking content behind their own sites, now we have the movie theater industry starting down the same path.

Rag on the music industry (and they do suck), but at least I don’t need to have a subscription to Sony Music+ and Atlantic Records+ to listen to their music libraries.

More like returning. This was the old model of Hollywood, where studios owned pretty much every layer of the process.
