Also films are often a social activity, are you really going to show a pirated version of The Incredibles on your laptop or would you rather use your big television in your living room? Whereas a pirated song vs a legally bought song sound the same and can be put into an audio player with the same ease.

And just the novelty of having ownership over your music is kind of a thing of the past. Why just have access to your personal music lib when you can access every song in the universe

Sam's album has sold 600k and will easily go platinum.
He's probably gonna be the Male Artist of the Year.
It's nicer to own physical DVDs anyway. You can't really take a movie collection on the go, nor do you have a necessity to. Therefore the physical nature of the media isn't against its environment of use.
Digital + MP3 became such a big deal because people wanted the ability to carry around large amounts of music in compact ways. Film just isn't consumed in the same way, that's why physical sales are still strong in my opinion.
My Uncle is such a cheapo and literally downloads HD movies to his computer, than uses the HDMI cable that comes with your cable box to connect his Laptop to his Flatscreen and it's literally the same as Bluray DVD.
Yeah the average person is not tech savvy to that point and would see it as a hassle.

You need internet access don't you?
I prefer owning my music. I also play around with it in audio editing software and like to make my own remixes sometimes.
