[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 1023966, member: 319227"] You will still need to buy new equipment to play the copy protected content sold. Content providers will not sell content without DRM. That equipment will also need to be capable of displaying on a standard TV. I am talkng about the world except Asia and Africa which have their own niche markets. A large number of people own DVD players which as they die are replaced by Bluray player - the price difference nowadays is minimal and will play their existing DVDs They take up a lot less space than 500 CD/DVD cases and two players. HDDs are subject to failure, very vulnerable to shock and still require a device to display them on my TV. Discs are fairly robust in comparison That was merely an example - but I believe the card was chosen to make devices compatible with MP3s recorded on phones and tablets. A USB stick would still require a case to sell it in for sleeve notes etc and would roughly be the same volume as a CD case as the sticks are a lot thicker - so where is your space saving there except when mobile [/QUOTE]
