Submission + - Music CD, I'm just not that into you

The industry as always wants to blame piracy. Critics want to blame poor quality of product, bad marketing tactics and digital rights restricting technologies. There's even some far-sighted commentary about changing business models. But this article, and similar ones you've no doubt read a thousand times in recent years over declines in music sales and movie attendance, miss the boat. And it's a pretty big and obvious boat at that. There are only so many hours in a day for each of us to consume entertainment. Various new forms of entertainment that catch on have to displace some of the time we spent on our former diversions."
