You're not part of the industry simply from being a consumer. I'm not part of the movie industry, music industry, car industry or the meat packing industry just because I make use of their product. That's almost like claiming I'm a part of Microsoft because I use Windows on my PC.
We are part of the market but not the industry and that's a major difference.
All (or almost all) products go;
Manufacture - freight/distribution - retail/outlet - end user
The industry in most given examples are only involved on the first or first and second part of this process, after that the goods have reached the market and a new venue entirely before it ever reaches us. If the system was made up such that we could order everything directly from and do commerce with the industries, our entire economy and monetary system would be radically different, removing all the links between (except freight in most cases though). Management and distribution is divided into several smaller outlets for a reason (imagine Nintendo shipping all their Wii's directly to end users without stores or handlers in between for instance, the micromanagement levels would be staggering and impossible to mount for nearly any industry).
