Obviously we have very different views on what constitutes an effective method of addressing issues with studios.
The position of the petitioners (as interrupted in the posts) is that bringing rumors to the attention of the studios is an effective means of effecting change and that assuming that these same studios are unaware of potential problems in the industry is valid.
I happen to believe that they know far more than I about the state of the technology (agreeing that they are likely not engineers) that impacts their business than do I.
As far as feeling strongly, I was only responding to an earlier post that said no one was discussing the issues in the petition. I only feel strongly that the petition in question is not a very good means of achieving that end. Personally, I would prefer that all of the studios release their movies in both formats, but not for the reasons contained in the petition.
