Gross Profit out of CD\DVD Sales and Rentals

[karapetkov]

Can anybody help me with a little info.

I'm writing an article on Internet piracy and I was wondering what is the approximate yearly gross profit from Audio CD Sales, DVD Rentals and DVD Sales - all combined.

In the US that is.

I hope this is not confidential information. I don't need super-accurate figures, just approximations.

If there's a site where I could find such information alone, a simple link will be enough. I googled but couldn't find anything satisfactory.

Thanks in advance.

"Download sales equaled about 1% of the $24.5 billion in DVD and home video sales and rentals in 2006, but industry experts expect downloads to grow to 10% within a decade."

Thank you VERY much.

Maybe I'm on the right track...

The article doesn't mention whether that 24.5B figure is national or worldwide. ANy guesses?

It should be for US only, I guess...

But if it's for worldwide - even better for my article!
