Quote
“The digital revolution is radically changing the consumer habits of music and film lovers that had been ingrained for decades. Although the music and film industries are equally affected by the crisis, the film industry will survive the crisis sooner than the music industry because Hollywood is more flexible, more creative and it is easier to find the most diverse platforms on which film can be commercially marketed as content in the future and is more promising.
