They seemed to do a lot of inserting of laser discs and paying money for 200 year old music.
Ito likes one symphony so much that Bill records the whole piece on a laser disc, telling the cable company to bill his bank account for the recording, and gives it to Ito as a gift.
In today's 2013, Bill's cable company is unlikely to allow the burning of discs, even at a price. If it does, it will be against the license agreement to give one as a gift. When Ito takes the disc back to Tokyo, it won't work due to region locking DRM.
Or maybe I'm too cynical. Ito can just pull up the info on the recording and torrent it himself from TPB.

- mikeash 14y agoThe other day, my daughter brought me a CD off the shelf and asked me to play it. Well, the CD player was all the way over there, terribly inconvenient, while my phone with Spotify was in my pocket. CD went back on the shelf, music played from the cloud. The future is weird.
