are you 98?
because it will be the way the majority of our population
gets movies at home within 5 years easy.

most families already use on demand from cable company
more then anything else.
and thats a form of digital download.

And that's going to be the biggest downfall of downloaded Movies. Timewarner has already taken steps in certain areas to limit bandwidth per month. They do not want you downloading to your vudo or apple tv. They want you purchasing PPV movies from them. So the more it catches on the more strict they will become. There are already areas in which they have a 10gb per month cap on downloads per month with a 1$ per gb overage fee. Average High def quality movie being 6-8gb. So after your allotted 2 movies per month you will be looking at a $6-8 charge per movie from your isp on top of whatever you are paying for the distribution service. I would almost guarantee any move like this would me across the board by most isp's that also offer entertainment packages.
One thing I have learned in this industry. It is easier to pull a wire than it is to push one.
