Just because something is the norm doesn't mean it can't change. It changed before. It will change again. Either we will give up freedom to protect media distribution in an effort to subsidize the media industry, or the media industry will change.
Theaters in the US took in $10 billion[1] in 2011. Theaters are hardly on their last leg. If studios can't survive on 16 million in revenue (on average) we really shouldn't be modifying laws in the US and internationally at the cost of freedom to help those inefficient studios stay in business.
