it's fun to see how broadband internet and ubiquitous multimedia-enabled computers are wreaking havoc on traditional media businesses. an argument over how long to artificially delay the release of dvds? why buy cd's, movies, games, and (soon enough) books when you can download them? for something that's so right in principle (a completely non-physical medium of distribution), its potential is going to waste as a medium for piracy. you'd think high piracy rates are lighting a fire under their asses to utilize this medium of distribution. but they won't. they'll just bitch bitch bitch that pirates are using this medium of distribution to fill a gap in the market (distribution of multimedia via internet) that they don't feel obligated to satisfy
