A collector is someone with hundreds of movies and or does the collecting as a hobby. Not just someone who picks up a few movies here and there. Quit trying to twist words around your only looking foolish.

no..that just mean's the person does not have the larger collection!

define collector:

here i will help you

col·lec·tion

1)The act or process of collecting.

2)A group of objects or works to be seen, studied, or kept together.

3)A line of products produced for one season, as those developed by a designer

4)An accumulation; a deposit

5)A collecting of money, as in church.

6)The sum so collected.

that person is still a collector.

 

The context I took your post for is blatantly not how your trying to twist it here.  Yes you can be considered a collector with just one DVD or Blu-Ray movie.  But the context (atleast how I took it) was for people with many many or hundreds of dvds/blu-rays.  I don't even know why I am defending this jeez.  

 

What was your point again?

no my statement's have been straight forward with what i have been posting this whole time.

the collector's IE: anyone who buy's movies are going to keep buying them.

so which do you see as holding the most market share?:

Digital downloads which has rental, and ownership how many rent movies vs' buy the digital copy

vs'

physical optical disc's

do you see Digital downloads over taking DVD's market share of in 5 year's, 10 year's, 20 year's

the point is people would have to up and quit buying DVD's..do you see that happening?

 

point is in order for Digital Downloads to become the major market share over physical media for home movie market it would have to over come the DVD market , which is not going to happen in any way shape or form in the near future.

the DVD market is just too large for that market share to dwindle away in any short length of time, due to the very reason's i just pointed out.

many people view Digital download's hold's no value after market. and still see it as it devalue's movies just like what has already happened to the music industry.
