He has incentives to downplay the problem in public, though. He doesn't want the studios who license their content to Netflix to ask too many questions.


As a studio, you need to ask yourself: Do you want people paying Netflix and possibly sharing accounts? Or would you rather they just pirate it and digital content continues its swan dive to zero value?

Looking forward to see what happens when microSD cards can carry entire studio libraries.


doubtful, I think that if anything the 4K push will really take hold because the media companies want to end sharing as much as possible. A typical high quality movie at 1080p will be 8-15gb in size, and 4x that for 4K... given that HDDs are still looking in the 6-10tb range, I wouldn't expect to ever see that on a microSD card...

We're getting to where there are physical limits to go much smaller as it is in memory, I don't think we'll really see a 10x improvement or more in portable memory to be honest.
