I still like the good old hard copy to own

But even folks on broadband will likely still take hours to d/l a 3 to 4 Gbyte file.....

Who wants to wait that long?

People will try it and then abandon the technology once they encounter an overloaded router on the path to their system. Too many speedbumps to even watch Youtube sometimes. Add the competition from kids around the world playing multiplayer 3d games, and the result is:

only good for few min. flicks, that's all, otherwise makes no sense.

If they use DRM, I'm not interested.

According to the Audioholics.Com article, the Itiva technology overcomes bandwidth constraints:

Quantum Transport is a patented technology that divides the video content into individual http Web pages (called quanta) and sends them out over the Internet. The quanta are then all re-assembled on the viewers’ computers. This is the process that generates bandwidth amplification, allowing the elimination of bottlenecks and the reduction of cost to the publisher, the ISP, and, in turn, to the consumer.

From a client standpoint, viewers download a simple plug-in (similar to what is required before playing Flash content) before viewing content that is delivered via Itiva. The process doesn't require any external application installation or intrusive software.

Apparently, there's a demo of how the downloadable plug-in works on the Itiva.Com Web site page here: http://www.itiva.com/action/

If it'll be like any other site, it should take about an hour for 4 gigs.
