To make a comparison, Emily is suggesting Netflix and David is playing the part of Blockbuster Inc. If you continue to be stubborn and refuse to evolve with the changing environment of the consumption of media, you will end up broke. Come on David, lets get with the times and actually be creative. Figure out another option if you don’t like Emily’s suggestion but the reality is that every industry deals with stuff like this and has from the beginning of time.

We could just as easily be downloading movies by the thousands (which some people do) but with options like Netflix/Amazon Prime/Hulu/Redbox, people are willing to pay for the media because of the convenience. Heck, people are even willing to pay for online gaming with Xbox even when Playstation allows online access for free?? The music industry can not stay the same because the world is not.
