AC/InteractiveCorp. Chief Executive Barry Diller said at an investor conference the Internet has enormous potential to transform the distribution chain in the media and entertainment business,

"[The Internet's] ability to put you, without any filter, straight to the consumer, is going to have a huge effect [on video producers]," said Diller. "The 'a la
