I am always doubtful regarding this recurring view of the upcoming
obsolescence of optical media due to broadband.
Where are you supposed to keep all the valuable contents you have paid
for? On hard disks ? Not a technology you can trust, in my opinion.
For collectors, recordable DVDs are always an option if they do not
want to invest in a properly designed hard disk based server. And
flash memory is closing the gap with optical.
Of course, for temporary rental of movies, i have no problem with the
broadband option. But for movies you really want to own...Or any kind of
family archives, for that matter.
The real issue here is how many people want to collect most video
content and watch it in the future. Unlike music, video is not
typically consumed over and over again.
And then there is the very real possibility that with cloud based
storage you may be able to pay for the rights once and consume at any
time in the future without ANY local storage needed.
