Chapter 7.

1. It shows that the film industry relies heavily on making sure that they can own and distribute everything. They want complete dedication and privacy to their causes.  They are slowly releasing everything to Itunes, but on their schedules, in hopes that this will cut some costs for them.  However, will it cut their revenues is their main concern.
2.  Video games are adding more and more short videos that are well-made and informative for the gamers into their games.  I can potentially see advertisements of some sort being placed into the short clips, like product placement.  As artistic, perhaps an awards ceremony will begin to credit those who make gaming videos, if they don't already have them.
3. That is a hard question to answer.  I don't know how things are leaked in the first place, but if they found the source of leaking, that might solve some problems.  They have already come out with movies in theater in demand at home, but for around $50-70 dollars a movie.  I think perhaps if they made this a more affordable option for a single person watching that movie (this is more ideal for a group), it would gain popularity fast. They can also start pressing more charges like the music industry does, or having special things that only work in theaters that would entice people to go to the movies again, such as giving away dinnerware.
4. Yes. I think a lot of it is just plain disgusting and sadistic.  It becomes less of an art form when it's been done a million times, the series of Saw and Halloween are good examples of this.  They have all of these spin-offs, and they lose the meaning, if they ever even had one to begin with.
5. Yes, I think it can be if done in the right way.  I feel like with a book, it is designed to foster imagination and the ability to do anything and travel anywhere, but with a film it is a person's idea of what they see, so with the help of CGI and special effects they can achieve the idea that they have.
