While whining about piracy and lamenting the declining sales of movies on physical discs, Hollywood somehow managed to make more money than ever in 2012. Apparently Hollywood managed to rake in $10.7 billion in 2012; if that's what a dying industry looks like, I'm sure publishing would love to get a piece of that disease.

It may also be worth noting that some of the info in the CNET article linked in the first post doesn't appear to be correct. The author of that piece says that music sales basically collapsed, but that's not true. Album sales collapsed because people started buying individual songs, music sales did not collapse.
