Who are these companies or 'firms' that sink countless dollars into useless research and predictions?
I think anyone who is online or had half a brain could predict that digital downloads will overtake CD's.

Here's another one that I will do to save some money: I predict that sometime in the no-too-distant-future (let's just say 2013 for kicks) Blu-ray media will overtake DVD as the choice medium for movies.

And hell, sometime after that, digital downloads and streaming video will overtake Blu-ray.

I will take my huge payment for generating such predictions now.

Nope the RIAA has ruined any chance of selling anything after suing a teenager in the hospital almost on her death bed. When ever the most honest do goodie good preacher hears of this they'll go WinMx patch.winmxconex.com or utorrent and use torrents from btjunkie.
