Costco is now selling 500GB external harddrives for around $200.00 and they are flying off the shelves. Who do you think is buying them? Do you have any idea how many spreadsheets you'd have to make to fill 500GB? heh
Surfers are storing well made content on firewire drives the same way their parents once stored prime copies of playboy in a footlocker or closet. DRM is the equivalent of Playboy coming to your house in 1979 and asking for your copy of their most recent magazine back at the end of each month.

i agree that surfers should be able to download files from the sites to have on their hard drives but do not agree with them sharing files on bit torrent or whatever else. thinking from a surfers point of view, i wouldn't want to have to visit the site each time i wanted to watch a video from it.
