Yes they will make higher short-term profits with their model. But this isn't about scolding movie studios for trying to reap the most profits possible for their products. They are a business of course they should strive for that.
The fact is they still do things the old way, when clearly the market and consumer behavior has changed. It's about doing things in a different way, that could quell some piracy and perhaps make studios even more money in the long-term.
When was the last time you rushed out to purchase a newly released DVD? Or do you wait until it's available for rental?
