End Of DVDs and CDs In 5 Years

[Faceman]

The study predicts that in five years, CDs and DVDs will start to go the way of the vinyl LP as 33% of music sales and 19% of home video revenue shifts to streaming and downloading.

Not as long as they can charge $15-$30 a pop for either a cd or a dvd and continue to make a profit off of it. Companies will not, I repeat, NOT give up profits for anything. Plus it's kind of handy to have a hard copy of a movie or a cd to listen to whenever you want. You can stop it, rewind it, change your mind and start another one. I don't know if you are in the mood to watch say, "Fight Club", start for 15 minutes and decide, "Hmm, I'm in the mood for a comedy", that VOD is going to say, "Oh that's ok, we won't charge you for starting the movie" With a DVD you can do that
