Re: throw out your DVD player - it's obsolete

This is an interesting development. I sure hope the motion picture
industry doesn't expect people to re-purchase films that they already
have on standard DVD. Now that this content is digital, there's no
need for actual physical media. Once the general public wakes up to
this, well, we all now how that story goes.

The question is, will the industry have diverted to on-demand
high-definition programming by then - or will their business model
collapse further?
