Starz President on IP Delivery Of Content

Meanwhile, Starz Encore Group’s President and COO Robert Clasen is imploring cable marketing executives to recognize and embrace the coming wave of IP-delivered content into the home. Of course, he’s also pushing his company’s recently launched online movie subscription service…

“The key question in the U.S. is what role will multichannel video providers play in assisting in the deployment of these commercially legitimate broadband services?”

“The most troublesome piracy of movie content arises out of the
illegal hacking of DVD’s. This threat dwarfs the current copy-protection
risks associated with Movielink and STARZ! Ticket on Real Movies. Hollywood
should resharpen its focus on improving DVD copy-protection technology and
help stem the tide of the bulk of piracy at its source.”
