Study shows iTunes-comparable sites could peak this year-Reuters
According to a study released today by Forrester Research, online video sites like Apple's iTunes, sites that sell shows and movies, could peak this year. Forrester said that while sales of movies and TV shows are expected to almost triple to $279M in 2007, as more programming is made available on free outlets supported by advertising, growth in sales could slow next year. Analyst James McQuivey puts it simply, calling the paid download video market a "dead end": "Free is going to win."
