Video Rental has been dying for a decade. I remember their heyday when rental places used to get VHS movies several months before they were released for public sale. But, that agreement was apparently only for VHS ... and died with the DVD.

Now, its almost cheaper to buy a used DVD than to rent one (They’re about $3 at pawn shops). And, downloading or Netflix is much more convenient for rentals.

The movie rental business is pretty much a relic, and will likely be confined to the porn market from here on.

Considering what is available for free online, I’m always stunned when I drive past an adult video store (which in Houston is every third store apparently) and see cars.

I’m always thinking, “Don’t these poor guys know?”
