In previous generations it was said that everyone would remember where you were when Kennedy was killed. It was one of those times when television came to be seen as a key in what was later called "the global village." Later became the first man on the moon, or more carpetovetónico plan, 23-F or 12-1 to Malta, or not moving Chanquete boat. Finally, that each generation will have their moments in this regard. And the harvest of 2010 in the future will remember a few things on TV: Where was the final day of World Cup (even though I hate football), and the end of 'Lost'. The end of "Lost" has even more to pick. Because it's just not knowing where he was, but how. Were you in U.S.? Are you plugged into a pirate feed re-retransmitting ABC in real time? Have you got off the first file of 100 Mb that someone hung by cumbersome to be? Or 350? Or did you even bother to download it and saw it streaming on a blog? Did you have shims to live and Inglés, or did you use subtitles, and English because they were more or less you get by if you see it written, or were in English hot dog? Would you wear it anyway and as soon as possible or keep it to a quiet moment? Do you expect to give it folded in four, and if so, you saw it live and with all the publicity (in which case you are done to see a couple of hours), or you saved? In other words, there is much more to say that "in the bar with colleagues and then to the source of the square." Where it goes.
'Lost' has pioneered a few things, and one of the issues can be highlighted and no one has given much consideration is that the issue issuance of soap operas, for all the problems that seems to have, you can still give a lot of juice when squeezed knows well. When those responsible for the series were in Italy to present the fifth season, they found that the public asked them questions on the sixth, demonstrating a knowledge that should not officially yet. "But how do you know that or the other if he has not been given here?" Producers asked, obviously knowing the answer beforehand, amid the laughter, even hidden, in the auditorium. And there is the question: 'Lost' showed that there is a market, foreign from the point of view of American producers, where miss big opportunities. Anyone who has seen the chapters on the Internet will most likely not see them again when the series was officially issued by foreign chain that acquired the rights. This will lead to a smaller audience, and therefore to lower advertising revenue, and therefore that the series in question is changed in place (time, day or channel) or is not finished broadcasting. Which in turn will lead to the public interested in continuing series increasingly use internet to see other proposals, despairing of a television channel that can leave you in interruptus.
The free TV is a great advantage over film when to deal with piracy and is not obliged to pass as the ticket office to see the product, may use advertising to generate revenue. According to university research, there are people earning between 300 and 4000 dollars a day maintaining websites illegal downloads. Obviously, if the download is not who pays for it, where does that money? Advertising. Advertising goes where people go, and if people are going to illegal page, the advertising will be there too.
course, also go, and even more money, where they issued legal content, so the question is: why not happening? Why not make efforts to pull in a series with a foreign country will see the same day or no later the same week it comes out in America? The phenomenon of 'Lost' has shown that people appreciate something. When he reached the end of the series, not everyone took it down like a madman, but many will want to seek the pleasure of the moment and the right conditions for him, as he sees his favorite movie. Thus, there is much public rather than bothering to go get off the chapters, most likely would see on TV if issued soon to the original, with the resulting increase in audience and revenue, and interest in future installments. If there is paranoia about the spoilers, the foreign country might have chapters in advance time for folding. If you can, to keep secret, because the chapters are being broadcast as they do, you could have the infrastructure to be able to see a subtitled version the next day (that's what we're doing the rock now, and the nose, so no excuses worth), and a folded days later, the country of destination if needed, before issuing the next new episode in America.
more, and giving the final step: why go looking for markets outside? Chapters emitted directly online, without territorial restrictions. People go to the website of the ABC, NBC and FOX and see him as quiet, while one in Arkansas or Wyoming. Even though the video is "on demand" (which the user can start and stop whenever you want), make it so that people can not skip commercials, and there will be advertising revenue. And on top to save on brokers, overseas shipments, and other expenses. Right now anyone with an Internet connection can see 'Red Eagle' or 'Big Brother' (or La 2 documentaries, not to depress the staff) anywhere in the world. Why you can not do the same with 'Fringe', 'The big bang theory' or '30 Rock '? ('Mad Men' True Blood 'or' Treme 'are another matter. That is because pay TV, which is another story.) If life advertisers have paid for ads in the knowledge that people change the channel in between, why not do the same, or more, the internet, which goes further? And if life has been maintained only channels that are based on audience and advertising, why do they insist on ignoring an audience that could reach via the Internet, almost no cost? How can people not drop things? Offering them so easily that they need it.
There are plenty of money there, so. I do not know how often American executives figures serve foreign markets when making a series, but in cinema the "overseas box office" is taken into account, and there are movies that raise more outside than inside.
And finally, perhaps ideas like this (and not because I have thought that surely someone else in the industry has come up) are perhaps they should be discussing and analyzing the peoples of the sector rather than capable of tracing IPs.
