I would hardly call a format dead that makes 7 to 8 BIllion dollars a year.

Yes but unfortunately for the studios streams are easy to copy as well. They should release the episodes like the BBC does at the same time worldwide. That will stop these pirates or dampen their party for sure.

Also the article title states "Going Digital" umm. DVDs are also digital so that statement is incorrect.

Not sure how this stops piracy since streams are easy to copy as well. They should maybe release the programs earlier to the viewer and have a worldwide release date.
