The entertainment industry has changed. At the end of the day the movie companies in Hollywood and the record companies are really nothing more than content companies - very similar to our industry.
In the past Hollywood ( I believe ) shared the profits with movie theatres, but they didn't share the profits with companies who create VHS tapes or DVDs - they had companies purchase them. Now.... With online they not only have to share the profit with Netflix, but also M$.
It sucks because if they had thought this out and embraced the Internet instead of bitching , fighting, and screaming about how they were getting ripped off.... They would be in a different spot right now where they can sell directly to their customers instead of having to share with movies or purchase DVDs from another company.
