@georgia Physical media does not matter. What matters is DRM unencumbered data. Physical media can still be tied to a central server. Some physical media do not even contain the media and just hold a fancy download app.

@georgia Yes, but it's not even needed. In a better world you could download data and store it however you want. Let's say a band could sell its albums on a site hosting various bands, one the marketing expert might name Jam Bazaar. Similarly, a scrappy independent games development studio consisting of a programmer and a graphicstian could sell its executables on a site that would have been called… oh iuno, maybe Dear Honest Toys or even Rub, for no particular reason.

@georgia Proprietary physical mediums are inferior to free formats - as you have the freedom to easily copy them on your computer, or burn them onto physical medium as needed.
