Also, don't forget there has been this massive recession.

You are quoting figures that relate to total sales in the UK which are controlled by US distributors. The increase in sales reflects the sales of a few 3D blockbusters, this money returns to the US. The income for UK domestic films and DVDs has fallen as reported by the UK film makers and believed by the government.
Piracy has the most effect on the films that are most easily copied.
Again, I have no way of saying what figures are true, but I think your position of saying that the technology that allows free identical copies to be made of music, news and videos has no effect on sales and the income of the creators, while at the same time, the Goggles of this world become gigantic corporations of uncontrolled dictatorial power and wealth by distribution of same materials, a bit surreal.
