Re: The Disc Is Dead...Sort Of. Size is a serious factor, but so is ownership of media. With DRM and a very real question regarding what I can play it on, physical ownership of the CD, DVD or Blueray disk give me a lot of comfort.
If I can't burn the video or music to disk and play it on any machine, or watch it on any TV I don't want it. If I own the DVD I can watch it, rip it to the iPod, transfer it to my netbook, whatever. The same holds true with a CD, I like ripping to FLAC, doesn't play on my iPod, but my Cowon sees more use these days. I could in theory convert a 128Kbps drm encumbered aac file to Flac, but i don't think there is any reason to do so.
Also if for some reason all four copies of my music library are destroyed and my cd library survives (unlikely), 99% of my music could be recovered. I will have to check with Amazon.com on the rest.(Pepsi points)
