Domino effect for Apple’s iTMS?

TheAppleBlog just wrote how hopefully the fact that on the first day, Disney sold 5 million DVD’s of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, would give Apple leverage for convincing other studios to let them sell content on iTMS (iTunes Music Store). The AppleBlog author, Iyaz Akhtar’s point being that DVD’s and digital content, such as the movies sold on iTMS can actually coexist.
He raises that this has previously been of concern to other studio’s, their fear that their DVD revenues would stagnate.

Availability and access being especially attractive for the new Internet generation, has meant films are especially conspicuous on not completely legal torrent and peer-to-peer networks. So as AppleBlog points out this may truly be good news, for those who want the content as quickly, but want to be able to be law abiding citizens.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest is available for purchase for $9.99 at iTMS. In comparison Amazon offers it for $14.99.
