I agree that it’s a very good article, although I strongly disagree with one company’s assertion that DVD is more or less dead. CDs are not dead. Books are not dead. As Microsoft found out not too long ago in a huge and costly market share mistake that assumed digital dominance, video game discs are not dead. Physical media morphs and evolves (vinyl to CD and back to vinyl again; VHS to DVD to Blu-ray), but reports of its death have been greatly (and consistently) exaggerated.
