That's what you're missing. People bought CDs back in the day because it was the most viable, easy method to get music. Today, it's not. The consumers have changed the way they listen/obtain music, but the music industry had to be brought kicking and screaming into the new era and they're still fighting to keep the CD model alive, even though it's no longer the most viable, easy way for consumers to get their music.
Actually, they're very similar. Both involve deciding whether you want to be a victim or not. While I'm not going to hang around Walmart 'protecting' them, if someone threatens me (verbally or by waving a gun), they better be ready because it's going to be on. Adopting the victim mentality that you advocate only ensures that you will remain a victim.
You might notice that while terrorists have attempted to blow planes up since 9-11, they haven't attempted to take over any planes. Why? Most likely because of what happened on Flight 93 and the terrorists' awareness that it would likely be repeated in the future.
