The article says that few doubt that the movie industry will rally. It doesn't matter to me anymore. I've long since stopped watching movies. I don't buy (new or used) DVDs anymore. I don't rent anymore. (I rarely even watch the DVDs in my backlog.) I've never done any downloading of movies. I don't watch TV. They get $0.00 from me.

The major publishers are pushing me out of the book market. I haven't bought a new major release in quite a while. I pick up freebies. I buy some small press books. On the rare occasion that I can't pass up a major publisher's book, I buy it used. (That hasn't happened yet this year.)

My basic message to the entertainment industry is, "I can do without you!"
