Actually, the actual SEC filing says dollar amounts are listed in thousands, so their figure of $4,250 is off by a factor of 1000. It should be $42,500,000. Update the post Zonk!
I don't buy DVDs movies because I can download them for free. That's the simple truth. Now who WOULD pay for a downloadable movie?
a) Uber-geeks? No - They can already get dvd quality movies for free (both avi's and dvd-images) b) Geeks who dont/cant download? Nope - These guys can rent DVDs for $5 and copy (decrypt) the dvd. c) People who cant download or decrypt? Maybe - If they don't mind watching on their computer monitors OR - they have a tv-out card set up and ready OR - the file download is in DVD format, ready to burn and watch on tv d) People with Divx players or PSPs or nextGen consoles? Sure - If the company works out the compatibility issues AND - If the company has a great marketing budget
However, most people wouldn't be in any of the above categories. That is, average joes without any computer knowledge or a tv-out card or a PSP or an Xbox360 or PS3 or a Divx player.

I've had my stock cooler die 3 times. And the one right now heats up and my computer shuts down.
And yeah silence is a big factor as well.

...probably teenage parents. But honestly, many times they just take bad or incomplete statistics. Just a thought. "50% of all humans are not female"
