> a single SD card will now hold so much data that you could store all the music and movies you'd want to consume in a lifetime on one or two of them. You can store a whopping five 4K equivalent movies on your 512gb SD card. You can shoehorn 10 to 20 movies on there at approximate Blu-ray quality. If you're willing to sink to Netflix equivalent pseudo HD quality you can get 100. The piracy genie is still being very strongly held back by the massive size of the files involved. The average consumer isn't going to buy and manage ten hard drives to store everything. They're not going to spend the thousand dollars on the drives, and they're also not spending a couple thousand dollars in blown bandwidth caps to download it all. There is no scenario where the average consumer has any interest in that scenario, they'll always choose Netflix + Disney + Prime for sub $30 / month. It's a no-brainer for them. Also, in the not very distant future those lower quality movies - at eg 5gb file sizes - will noticeably look like trash on modern TVs. It's only true about music.
