I can still remember reading in popular science many years ago an article about storing information optically on disks. Amazing how far it has come. The information needed to construct a new human being is about 3.5 Gigabytes.

They're worried about copyright infringement of 27GB disks? Give me a fsckin break! Yeah I can see script kiddies sending those beasts across a network. Oh hey, with MPEG7 we can compress them down to oh..... a single DVD's size. Great, now it'll only take 5-7 hours to download a single movie over a decent connection.
