I agree, the owners of the right to copy movies will do just like the owners of the right to copy music did and grant permission eventually - technology will force their hands.

Moving away from hard media to lousy compressed media to boot.

You have more faith in the common sense of our representatives than I do. I hope you are the one that's right.

They have common sense but when you need to fund a multi-million dollar TV campaign to pay local broadcasters to get your message out over our air waves or cable pipeline we pay for you become beholden to big money interests and not the people you represent.

For now. But with everything going digital and screens getting larger, we might see better compression algorithms in the future.

Not seeing much in the way of lossless audio. I have a small fortune invested in a system for that and if streaming doesn't provide it, I'm not game for it.

I have been saying and fearing this for a few years now. Kids now days are perfectly happy with crap compressed music on their phone and an ear bud. They have no idea or care about the quality of the music they just want the noise. Now I see this with more and more people and streaming movies, netflix and such. I am afraid that the majority just wants it now and don't care about quality anymore, these would be the same people that spend all their money at Wal-Mart rolleyes.gif

I do fear for the future of entertainment and high quality, for me it is Blu-Ray or nothing, for all the teens out their it is the coolest thing to watch a movie on your I-Phone, give me a break......eek.gif
