Actually i want to explain about the purchase of DVD culture. For example as found in this site:Cami's LJ
The site above shows that there is a Japanese group of boyband named "ARASHI" that last year has sold over 4 million copies of music DVDs. Those amount of copies been bought by their fan(boys/girls) all over the world. So from my point of view, the purchase of DVD culture hadn't influenced only Japanese but plentiful person in world wide.
Even if the purchase of DVD culture didn't start over from the Japanese, but those who remain that culture is Japanese. For example in America is more well-known to purchase by downloading (mp3,mp4, etc) from i-tunes, so they can just copy it to their i-pod (because i-pod is a common music player which firmly owned by American), rather than purchasing the original CD or DVD.
If we compare both culture to the one in Indonesia, they are actually resembles each other. In Indonesia people do like to buy CDs but not the original one, or do like downloading (mp3,mp4, etc) but get it for free. Here, i'm not going to judge any of these culture but, which one do you think is more proper to do?
