yea, i understand its not a rosey scenario. but things will adapt, like they are starting to with music. movies is not far behind.
it sucks because its causing a lot of change, but i dont think the progress is going to diminish. bandwidth prices will keep dropping and that makes it cheaper to distribute content to try to make roi
