I think a better example would be a movie that was released in theaters using analog sound & projectors and withheld from theaters with digital projectors & sound for six weeks because the distributor wanted to help the business of older-style theaters.

The point is that the access to the material is restricted based on the type of medium the audience is choosing to use. It alienates part of the audience with only a slight tangible benefit.
