Apparently a lot of people are worried about it [pay TV] interfering with other services, that it might take away the audiences from movie houses or something like that. I think that would not happen. For example, the freedom you have to take home LP discs and play them in no way impaired attendance at concerts. On the contrary, it has enormously increased interest in music.
