One blogger suggests that this kind of technology will lead to financial problems in Hollywood. The entertainment industry is facing pressures similar to those on the major newspapers. DVD sales are down 25%.

That blogger thinks such pressures will mean Hollywood will become less crazy and will have to appeal to a broader, more mature audience. Young teens won't have big allowances in this economy, and the young male market is dominated by video games.

2010 - Netflix, Redbox beats estimates.
2010 - Hollywood Video, Blockbuster, and Movie Gallery continue to deal with bankruptcy.

That was a good article you linked to. It actually amazes me that people buy DVDs at all (when you can rent them for as low as $1). I can see the occasional purchase of a classic movie that you would want to see several more times or maybe a collector's edition of a very good movie that features a lot of extras (like the "Lord Of The Rings" box set). But who in their right mind would pay $15 for a copy of "Porky's Revenge" or "Good Burger"?
