Dear Film Industry
…
![Page 2: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
before we start with the presentation

WARNINGThe following presentation has been published by myself, but that does not mean that every thinkable right concerning anything in that presentation has been handed over to anyone. For example, recording anything i say during a presentation of this deck or capturing any image of the slides while I am showing them might or might not be under any copyright protection. I simply do not know. I just wanted to show that it may feel strange for someone who expects content, or actually even has paid for content, to be told – first thing – what he cannot or should not do with it. If you want to build fruitful relations to end consumers, it may be a better choice to treat them not as potential criminals first; and if so, explain to them why that is. A simple „thank you for purchasing“ before showing that warning may be nice. However, to make a text like this more scary, some figures along with currency signs should be shown. For example, I could come to your company and present this deck for
250,000 US$With some negotiation, i might even settle for less. You may give it a try.

versions of it.

![Page 22: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

You invested time to watch the presentation
so far.
I gave you nothing.
Feels bad?

Customers invest time and money to get a DVD or
BlueRay.

Each time they use it, you make them go
through an experience like this.

So let‘s get to the point.
![Page 28: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

and i just like that brand.

Are you still there?

Any value from a bunch of logos before
the action starts?
![Page 37: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Now i would like to play some annoying music in a menu and reveal
that the promised „special features“ are
some more commercials.
![Page 38: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
But that wouldn‘t be fair.
In the end, we love great movies.
![Page 39: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
So here are a few tips for the future.
![Page 40: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
You will probably not put an end to piracy and increase your margins by 20%.
![Page 41: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
But wouldn‘t it be nice if people bought your
stuff because
of the way you present it and not in spite of it?
![Page 42: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

and a paying customer this

DO
• Build direct customer relations – they might be useful in a future with non-physical movie distribution

DON‘T

![Page 53: Open Letter to the Film Industry](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102323/544f55abaf7959fb6f8b9271/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
DON‘T
• Hunt down everyone who uploads a trailer. Samples might actually be good for sales.
