One thing to think about in terms of how to affect the money men's views.
Buying the TOS DVDs is likely a one time event. It is a durable medium, and is not likely to need replaced, unless forced by hardware changes.
If TPTB conclude that issuing new product to an audience can be profitable, both from an ad revenue stream, and an aftermarket sale of DVDs, then they might conclude that the need to issue new product to be able to put new discs in the hands of loyal consumers.
By this I mean, if no continuation project, then a sizable market will buy a competing product rather than stick with a brand loyalty. No need to continue to buy what you already own.
I appreciate the post Dawg. I have minor issues with the TD story, but the fact is, if I were involved in online fandom 2 years ago, I would probably be closer to your previous position than the one I am at just tuning in with the RDM product.
