The music industries real problem is not having a new format that they can resell you all the same albums on for 5x the price.

Or it could just be piracy!

For example UK cinema attendances fell from 1.6Bn/year in the 1940s to 55M/year in the early 80s - this was entirely sue to people seeing the future of being able to download movies - and not due to the crap films produced in the 70s and 80s.
