That's not really true. The big studios are distributors of the content. They traditionally sold to Cinemas, and had DVDs made, etc. The fact they missed the boat on digital distribution is completely their fault...

Sure and Adobe is distributor of Photoshop, but I wouldn't really say they're in the "downloading install files" business.

They're also investors in the creation of the content.
