Though, lately a large amount of cartoons (old and new) are getting released on DVD.

Not so much animes that haven't been made in the last 3 years, or anything pretty obscure.
But come on. We can all remove the mask now! Copywrite has NOTHING to do with it. The truth is no one's going to see Hollywood's playDoh fun factory shoot out another chop film, raucous 90 minute poop joke, or dumbed down remake of something that was a million times better in the first place. And no one's watching TV anymore, with some exceptions, because it's all reality garbage and crap that's been done before.
This is EXACTLY what happened to the MP3 Downloads 5 years ago. The music industry was pooping out garbage dance music, and CD's were both becoming obsolete, and rediculously expensive at the same time. And nothing was worth buying as that was the era of one hit wonders with Bling Bling psuedo rap, and emo rock. There was no reason to buy a 20 dollar CD for one song. Instead of taking the hint, they sued the crap out of everyone they can sue, then relented to do the right thing with Itunes.
The difference here? You can't really burn these to DVD, you know. Maybe you can, but that's not it. It's not stealing any more money from the major "entertainment" conglomerates, as half the stuff up on their is either totally obscure shows that won;t make any money if released, or snippets of current shows (which in all honesty whet the appitite of the general public to watch more).
Some douches put full movies that are out in theaters, and full episodes of current shows. THEY should be punnished. Not the people who say, "Look at what I found! I used to love this and I want to share it with people."
The next thing you know the video game industry will lose money since people aren't going to buy the same GTA ripoffs and formuliac racing games, and they'll blame people with Atari 2600 emulators. Which is as rediculous as companies going after people selling stuff on E-bay because it takes profits away from them (especially on out of print merchandise).
