Ok, color me confused.

What is the difference if I rent a movie and pay Redbox $1 to watch it, or if I rent the same movie and pay Blockbuster $4 to watch it?

Either way, Hollywood sold a DVD to the kiosk, or to the store. If I rent it, and I like it; I will meander to Wal-Mart and buy my own copy.

So, how exactly how does Redbox hurt Hollywood?

I would argue that I watch movies from my RedBox kiosk for $1, that I would NOT even consider renting from Blockbuster at a higher cost.

Right now the studios are pushing Redbox and Netflix for a revenue sharing plan above and beyond the disk purchase price. I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of it where the studios sic their union goons on companies that aren't "giving their fair share".
