Warner hired Jim Griffin to provoke discussion about new business models. Not all people working for corporations need to be 100% corrupt. Some can have good ideas sometimes.
Though Warner is desperate to hold onto whichever second chance they can get, just as any other old media publishing and broadcasting giant. Even if they know they are going to be removed by the new paradigm eventually, be it in 6 months, 2 years or 10 years. For each month that they can continue to control the system, it's billions of dollars more for their shareholders, billions more to expand their influence and power on society, which they plan then to divert to something completely different once their influence on arts and media has been rendered completely irrelevant.
You see, the corporation believes its massive amounts of money and proprieties amassed over the years will continue to have the same value no matter if their current business models are forced to be cannibalized.
