Music Industry Staggers While Film Industry Blooms
GLX writes "The LA Times is running an article that explores the idea that while piracy has been the (supposed) bane of the music industry, it has yet to be felt in the video industry..." "Yet to be felt" might be too strong, but DVD sales are booming, and don't seem to be much crimped by illegal copying.
Vivendi Universal and Sony Corp. are preparing to sue individual song swappers... I'm curious how this will be done.
Slashdot's first reaction to VMware
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Full Screen Edition) DVD $15.99
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack $13.99
The full DVD with the movie, games, deleted scenes, a 360 view of Hogwarts, etc. etc. is only $2 more expensive than the soundtrack for the same movie.
