The tech is all but here.......Now we just gotta get the licensing ass clowns in line.

The "licensing ass clowns" as you refer to them are the only reasons that there is a flow of income in the movie and tv businesses. Quite simply, without licensing and standardizes licensing terms, there wouldn't be much out there these days, because there wouldn't be the level of income.

Expressions like that tend to come from the piracy community, who point the fingers at people who actually have the balls to try to SELL their products rather than give them away. It is incredibly short sighted to think that the problem is licensing... it isn't. It is more to do with people being unwilling to pay for the products, be it actually buying them, renting them, or paying for them with their time (commercials, pre-roll ads, etc). With limited sources of income, the producers will make a limited product. Nobody seems to be thinking quite that far.
