If you have a DVD collection at home of 2000 movies you are not going to rent movies or buy them as often?

I'm not saying you're worng but bigger hard drives and faster coonections are far from being the main culprits. It's more or less like this:
Reaons for fucked up sales:
1. Bad economy = less disposable income
2. Easier access to free porn (tubes)

Why is the bad economy No1???
Well, this is what they teach at the universities:
You have two gas stations - one selling at $2.40 per galon and 1 or 2 cars filling at most, and the other one selling at $2.10 per galon with 20 cars waiting in line. At gas station No2 you'll almost never see docotrs, lawyers, and other highly paid professionals.
Why is that? Well, they make enough money and value their time, instead of saving say 10 bucks per tank they'd rahter spend tiome with the family, watch tv, play golf etc
It was the same before the economy downfall with the Americans - at least some of them woul'd rather spend say $40 bucks on a porn site membership instead of spending time on (just an example) searching for torrents, getting some bad downloads, then searching again, going to forums and so on... Well, with less money in their pockets the Amerricans will have to start spending less (that's like the doctors getting far less money and now waiting in line for petrol to save a buck or two)
Which brings us to reason No2 - TUBES!
Tubes in fact don't do anything new - free porn has been out there for years, tubes simply make it MUCH EASIER to find it. Before tubes - you have to know what torrents are, go look for them, search, go trought some bda sites, some fo them with viruses and what not, woth tubes - you go to TubeSite.com, do a search, click and watch - that's it!
On the other hand I'm a bit optimistic - nothing scares people more than the unknown, and by the end of next month (or the end of this one) the stock exchanges should hit the bottom and things should start getting back to normal, things will never be the same, but that fear factor of the unknown should be gone, and people would say - "well, I'm fucked, but it could've been much worse", and start spening some money again, not as much as before, but right now they're scared shitless and aren't spending a dime!
