Not one of the media sectors restructured by the Internet or digital technology has managed to rebuild itself to its previous size.

People are less interested in collecting DVDs and that lost DVD money isn't coming back. It's moving to other players in the restructured business. It isn't so much that consumers are spending less, it's that they are spending it differently.
Much as the publishing business.
I don't see disaster for either business but the revenue distribution is changing in both.
