What I don't understand is why they wouldn't have moved the DVD business off to someone else. It would suggest that their videos are too expensive to produce versus sales, rather than just "not enough sales". It would also show that the online division and the DVD division weren't sharing content, because otherwise the cost of producing the content would stay in the mix, not saving them all that much money.

From the outside peeping in, it looks like one very screwed up business, something that a buyer might actually be able to fix.

Agree completely.

Cost of production of DVD's should be negligible unless you are cutting out all production, which obviously they aren't.

It all smacks of a very silo'd set of business units, in which case yes, there's a huge opportunity for someone to step in and fix it.

We dont.

It is only implied that distribution is changing and not production.
