"We have already seen something similar happen with the advent of digitization and streaming on the film industry and theatres. I remember feeling a similar sense of sadness when Blockbuster closed down. There was something magical about going on a Friday night to pick out your movies for the weekend"

"The same goes for netflix - it was about $5 for a movie from blockbusters back then so about $20 a month. Could the average working person not afford to rent ONE movie a week?"
