As for discs dying: could be, but not only are they not dead yet, in some cases people- including PC kjs and IP trolls feel that their ownership is REQUIRED, whether used in a show or not.
Also, a prediction: mp3s and downloads won't cut it when the giants fjnish remodeling the industry. There will be a return to some sort of hard media ( disc? Card? Stick? Something new?) For copyright protection, and hackable downloads and mp3s will be a memory. Ya heard it here first. PC hosts, prepare for an overhaul.
I completely agree with you on the highlighted statement. For as long there are manu's defending their IP, the physical media will be needed for proof.
I agree as well. I also support it. I will play by the rules. But I am also keeping my ear to the ground and the moment I feel I can replace all of my discs with downloads, that is exactly what I will do.
Think about it......
Some of you started out on cassette tape.......as soon as Laserdiscs came out, how many more tapes did you buy? When CD+G came out, how many more expensive Laserdiscs did you buy (this one is a little unique considering the video aspect of LD).
For some of us, the moment digital downloads were available, we stopped buying CD+G for new music.
