this still doesn't mean DD is going to be here for a long time. A 4MB song is way different then a 70MB song and definitely different then a 900MB TV episode or 4GB movie or a 45GB HD-Movie with HD audio.

Still good that the RIAA wont have much power in the music industry soon.

 hehe, well at least one person saw through my thinly veiled guise and got to the heart of my post.

...but every time i bring up DD all i hear is 1) zomg file sizes are too big to download and 2) the consumer can't live without the physical copy and cover art.

 well....this article is just a nugget of knowledge against #2. 

and i posted this before (don't feel like digging up the old thread) but it's a nugget of knowledge against #1.

super high speed internet (up to 1.2 Gb/sec)http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/02/23/japan.satellite/

...it's coming.  my excitement grows.

yes those internet speeds are coming but 1.2 Gigabites, not Gigabytes, still will take forever to download a 45GB HD movie. The service wont be cheap either. Plus with the increase in speed will bring an increase in file sizes.
