DVD-Disc Going Out of Business Sale

I'll tell you one thing. I'm not buying Anime DVDs anymore. I'm using the Pirate Bay and Funimation.com, DirecTV DVR Streamer, YouTube, and Roku to watch things. It's cheaper, and I can eat until my belly is full! DVDs are becoming a relic, either fortunately or unfortunately. Expensive DVDs are going out of fashion and plummeting out of public favor. The DVD anime market is doomed. Or so it would seem. Not my fault. Just because DVDs are less efficient than my invention, streaming video, doesn't mean streaming is bad or wrong. Video killed the radio star. Streaming video killed your DVD sales.

Let me spell out the raw data:

You know how many videos I watched through streaming and piracy sites like Pirate Bay in the last 2 months???


1,000s! 1,000s of video streams! For just 1 person.


Wanna know how many anime DVDs I bought in the same amount of time?


2. 


2 DVDs. Air Master and Dead Leaves, and it's mostly so I can hear the English Dubs tracks.


That's PATHETIC, Anime Industry. Wake up and smell the dying market. Time to get on the Streaming Bandwagon. Oh wait, you sorta have to. I don't think you really have a choice at this point...


DVD is going to end up like VHS, and Streaming Video will end up like TV replacing radio, except Streaming Video, due to its' simultaneous low cost and utilitarian nature, could very well replace both TV AND DVD in time, assuming the market continues to grow, which it's kind of obvious it will. TV and anime companies are complaining about illegal streams because Streaming stands to make a ton of money in advertising revenues/sales through sites like YouTube, Funimation.com, Roku, DirecTV, Netflix, Amazon Crunchyroll, ANN, and a bunch of interchangeable tech and hardware formats online and off (but mostly on), and this prosperity for Streaming video translates to an equivalent exchange of loss for both traditional TV and DVD, which will probably be replaced by such things as Ustream and Cartoon Network Video Live Broadcasting, YouTube, DirecTV, and Netflix HDMI and TV broadcasting. Streaming sites will continue to multiply and proliferate online and in compatibility to TV. What does all this mean, preferential treatments, which results in lost DVD Sales, and lost advertisings revenues. Billions of dollars lost by traditional sources in favor of Next Generation Streaming Technology. CN and Adult Swim set a good example of how to adapt to this changes. I'm gonna go watch their live stream broadcast of Squidbillies or whatever of on Adult Swim.com just to show my support of corporations taking the initiative to adapt. If they can adapt to my technology, I'll adapt to their business plan. Win/Win. Profit-Profit, on both sides. Not just one. It's only fair.


Well, I've still got my Amazon Author Store. And my App Developer Company StreamWave Developer Media. And my media company, Thunder-Lightning Media. And my Online TV Network ActionToonTV.
