Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey says television has overtaken cinema as the home of quality character-driven drama, but the industry risks failure if it doesn't recognize that viewers want control over what they watch, and when.

Spacey said the critical and commercial success of "House of Cards" "demonstrated that we have learned the lesson that the music industry didn't learn--give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price, and they'll more likely pay for it rather than steal it."

In another event at the festival Friday, Spacey said that movie producers could adopt a similar approach to help beat piracy, releasing films simultaneously online, in cinemas and on DVD.

Spacey said that "would be a huge bite out of piracy because if it's all available nobody is going to be stealing it before someone else gets it."
