Music streaming revenue is starting to level off, meaning the market is starting to get saturated. Nevertheless, the amount of revenue growth in streaming this year outstripped the entire revenue generated by CDs.

Cracking the DIVX encryption would be completely pointless now unless someone wanted to do it as a challenge. Actually, I'm sort of surprised nobody has done it yet just for shitz-n-giggles.
You'd need to find an actual DIXV disc, though. Once DIVX died, they became useless.
Got curious, and there are some DIVX discs up on eBay right now. Looked at a few on the listings. One of them is "guaranteed to play."
Someone else is asking $92 for a copy of Armageddon. 
Curiously enough, none of the listings for the discs I saw had a disclaimer that they were no longer playable without the DIXV infrastructure.

Disney may be getting back into disc based releases.

Anyway, if you hoped growing CD sales might translate to growing BD sales in the future, it’s not happening.

I would be all over a 4K set of the complete Andor series and Rogue One, especially if they tweak the deepfakes of Leia and Tarkin in R1.

Surprised puss in boots couldn’t get blu-ray in the green considering how well it did in the box office. Last year the best selling blu-ray this week was Belfast, a tiny box office movie, so it’s not like puss has a tough year on year compare.

The last 17 charts posted have had YOY revenue declines for total discs, DVD and Blu-Ray.
