The small guys (store owners) never had any chance. The have no tech background or online marketing knowledge.
The legal download market is being "sabotaged" by the big studios. I talk to some of them in the UK and Holland like Sony and Warner. They want a million in advance for a handfull of older movies, we can make 15% max. profits (incl. payment systems costs and affiliate commissions) AND they want so much DRM and silly prices compared to dvd prices in stores, it just has no change for a legal download market to be successful.
Or other silly things like; gimme 10K per movie minimum guarantee (just for Holland), use it one month, then switch it of for 14 months because a tv channel gets it exclusive during that time....pffff. These guys don't understand the "sharing" that makes the internet so big, they want all for themselves.
