So in the middle of a recession in 2009 people didn't buy as many new DVDs? What's your point?
You are citing 2009, when the movie industry made 20.65 billion USD, compared to 1995 when it made 5.29 million.

Can you try and find some evidence that isn't you talking to friends or relatives to back up your tenuous points?

When you post saying you don't understand
Mystery Guitar Man is makes me feel you don't understand what makes films popular, modern culture or how to use the internet. Look how many views he has. Look how many subscribe to his channel. Why do you think that is? People like it.

None. What steps do you think should be taken and why? I think we should make better products. Look at iTunes. Huge piracy of music. iTunes launched a legal, simple and good way to buy music and it worked. We should do more of that.
