Exactly
The industry needs to realize they are no longer selling a physical product so they will have to learn to make money in other ways.
One thing about the internet is that it allows you to access way more potential viewers. It seems as though the recording/movie industries are all about the benefits of the internet but want protection from all of the drawbacks.
An example, with concerts. Way more people are getting exposed to music and going to concerts so concert revenues are through the roof. Meanwhile CD sales are non-existant. Quite frankly I have no problem with this as the artists gets a much bigger chunk of concert sales than they ever did of album sales.
