Business Week:
Time Warner is betting that a strategy that keeps out-of-print books from disappearing may also work for movies. Print-on-demand technology makes it feasible to produce a single copy of an otherwise out-of-print book. Time Warner’s Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is adopting a similar approach to movies not currently available on DVD, with the release of the Warner Archive Collection. The collection made its debut Mar. 23 with 150 of the thousands of decades-old titles that have not previously been available on DVD. The new collection may be the last best hope for getting copies of hard-to-find movies.
