But what else *could* they do?
Neither CDs nor DVDs are a growth industry themselves.
B&M retailing of any kind *isn't* a growth business these days.
The biggest B&M retailers of CDs and DVDs (Best Buy and Walmart) use them as traffic-draw loss-leaders.
Times are tough and tough times stress the weak players...
...often to destruction.
