And I didn't even manage to cram in, "Technology exists that can let anyone, anywhere, listen to any song or watch any movie ever made, instantly and in excellent quality [...] - well, I'm glad you didn't, because it is not true, at least not if you live in Germany. Here, it's more like: "This content is not available in your country." So much about anywhere...

Piracy allows you to do it. I know it's not legal, but you can easily and quickly, and for free get (almost) any TV show, film, or music album (and soon, book) rapidly via P2P networks. In '95 piracy meant buying dodgy low quality VHS tapes from the back of someone's car in a car boot sale. The quality and selection was no where near as good. Now you can pirate the TV show about 1 hour after they are first shown and watch them before they are aired in your country. You can stream loads of sports events as they happen live. You're an american in germany and want to watch the superbowl live? no problem!
