After having gotten burned in the VHS/Beta debacle, Sony bought Columbia Pictures so that they would have a ready-made library of content for the CD and DVD markets.

I'm surprised they didn't buy a publisher, or at least strike a deal with one of the big publishers for access to content, so they have to negotiate a lot of little individual-book deals.
