This magazine seems like a good source of information. My question is whether consumers can receive it or is it limited to those who work in the video/dvd industry?
It's a free publication for industry personnel. You may be able to purchase a subscription, but I'm not sure. There is a sign-up application on their website, but you must provide verifiable industry credentials in order to qualify.
The other industry trade magazine, Home Media Retailing (formerly Video Store Magazine), offers a paid subscription for non-industry individuals.
However, most of their articles are published on their websites for access by anyone.
