If I want to sell a HD/BR movie for a buck, so be it.
Why on earth would you want to make such a huge loss on the cost of the
blank disks?
Not to mention the current cost of HD/BR writers you would also need to
pay.
AZ didn't say "sell a disc" he said "sell a movie".
With online delivery, no disc is involved. Perhaps
you didn't read the entire context of the paragraph.
I see, and just how many HD/BR movies are delivered on-line I wonder at
20-40 GB per movie?
Probably cheaper to buy the original disk!
The same was said twenty years about megabyte images or ten years ago
about CD images. Who could possibly copy a CD? They're huge!
500MB for an uncompressed CD still is, hence MP3.
Data download speeds are (optimistically) 3GB per hour
Downloading HD movies is probably around 10 years away.
