To be honest, the music business hasn't learned jack. The RIAA and the record labels are still trying to sue the bejesus out of everybody that has downloaded a song. Sure, iTunes, Amazon and others are seeing growth in usage, but not nearly enough to save the music industry's ass. The real challenge is yet to come, as more and more acts with muscle start to go the Radiohead/Nine Inch Nails way and start giving away their music. I'm not much of a DVD buyer, to tell the truth. I only buy collector editions and/or director's cuts of films that I want to watch multiple times. Unlike others, I'm a huge fan of special features (mark that down to my quizzing genes). Moser Baer's stuff doesn't give me what I need, but I was very impressed by what they were doing for the market. -- Sumant Srivathsan sumants.blogspot.com
