    Kinda funny really, vinyl is actually doing fairly well. DVD sales may drop off, but there will always be a market for those of us that want to own the movies we enjoy seeing more than once. V.O.D (aka PPV) is lagging behind new releases by approx. 30 days already. Just take a look at some the threads here and elsewhere when a new release is announced!

    Man,

    Downloading is NOT why CD Sales are down!!!

    If the dumb pos's would sign some effin talent then they WOULD sell MUSIC, not NOISE!!!! Get rid of the trash, and sign a band with something more than catchy beats and lame songs, these 1 hit wonders cant do crap for the record company....

    Why is the press so blind?

    If it can be streamed or downloaded, then it can be captured and stored. If it can be captured and stored, then it can be burned to a media format (cd/dvd).

    I'll just start buying pirated media, if need be.

    Cheers,
