The movie industry is largely going towards big movies in 3D, that have to be seen in a cinema to really enjoy. People who download it are a small part of the market. The whole experience of watching a good film in the cinema is worth paying for.

The music industry has gone the other route. Heavy marketing of stars who seem to last a few weeks. Going into areas that appeal to people who will buy, like Classical. And Talent shows where a star is born, makes a CD and then a second one, which crashes, and then on to the next one.

And downloading songs very cheaply. Would the porn industry be able to emulate that and instead of $4 POV to pay for traffic. 40 cents instead? Interesting question.

Plus live performances. Going to see Roger Waters perform The Wall Saturday.
