Hmmmmmm...
Apple is selling more than 2.5 million songs a week in the U.S. alone
via the iTUNES music store. Total sales now have surpassed 1/2
billion. The downloads also include the album art. and related data.
I will NEVER buy an audio CD again.
Comcast just announced that they have hosted more than 1 billion VOD events...
Perhaps Blu-Ray or HD-DVD will have a place in the future, but my bet
is that it will be the recordable versions, and that people will
download content then burn the good stuff to a disc to put up on that
rack.

Craig
