*warning, heavy stats content*
Might be wise to just look at the pictures and conclusion unless you've got stats expertise I'm unaware of :)

Date: 2011-01-13 11:18 am (UTC)I have _no_ idea what the entertainment/media world is going to look like in 20 years, but I suspect that it will be quite different. I hope we find new ways of making money for books, but I'm not convinced.
Dammit. That reminds me I owe a decent response to

Date: 2011-01-13 11:54 am (UTC)So many people now feel ripped off even if they pay 1p or something, because they are so used to getting it for free off the internet.
I mean, I don't know for sure, but I'd wager textbook sales have collapsed since wikipedia became the be-all and end-all of people doing 'research'.
Far from being the great liberator of mankind, the internet seems to be likely to create absolute stagnation.

Date: 2011-01-13 12:50 pm (UTC)Like there are an increasingly large number of people who write, who are happy to write for free because they think it will lead to them getting a big break. Which it won't of course, but in the meantime, it continues lowering the value for everything towards free.

Date: 2011-01-14 07:20 pm (UTC)I can't help but wonder how many people feel the same way. If I could afford it [as used to be the case] I'd buy minimum 3 books a week

Mind you, to be honest, the main thing that makes me feel as if I might want an ebook reader, beyond the initial cool technology thing, is mostly because part of my brain is going 'Ooooh, I wonder how many torrents there are for books!'
So, yeah. I can see piracy being a major problem.

Date: 2011-01-14 01:19 pm (UTC)I'm sure there was another one too but I don't remember it. Oh! There were a couple of pretty good Cat/Sam oral sex scenes in Lip Service. Mm, not sure I count niche lesbian telly the same way; you sort of expect cunnilingus in those (although with the L Word you were often disappointed).
Sorry to hear that Portman's orgasmface isn't up to scratch. Still, I'll reserve judgement 'til I've seen it.
Maybe I'll make a post about this. It's been a while since we talked about sex on my journal...
