A common complaint among technologists will be that it's a waste of resources to keep multiple copies of the same 'recording'. I don't dispute that. However, thankfully there seems to be an upper bound to the size of a recording, and as storage gets cheaper and cheaper, this will be less of an issue. [Note: Even though video resolutions will get better, like audio did, eventually I imagine will hit a similar upper bound. ]
