Behind the scenes

Warren Lieberfarb is one of those names you’ve probably only heard of if you followed the DVD Revolution from very early on in its development. If you were around for the nightmare that was Circuit City and DIVX, it’s name you’ve undoubtedly heard. He was DVD’s biggest champion as a format, and now Warner Bros. has let him go. I can’t explain it. It’s a pity and a shame, and Warner Bros. is a lesser company today for it. You can read more about him at articles here, here, and here.

    Thanks for the headsup on Warren Lieberfarb

    You made a small typo, though, it’s Warren, not Walter. And here are links to two more detailed stories. The Post piece actually interviews him briefly. The NYT piece names candidates to be his successor.

    Thanks, Tim. I’ve corrected that now. I’ll definitely have to check out the other links, too.
