An Open Letter to the American Anime Community
December 19, 2007
The music industry suffered a similar problem a few years ago and the problem anime faces today seems to be remarkably similar (music sales dropped by 30% and then regained around 10% through on-line sales i.e. net-net sales dropped by 20% permanently). This happened much earlier with the music industry because file sizes for mp3s are much smaller than they are for video files and therefore were easier to download with slower internet connections.
