[citation][nom]tenor77[/nom]You do realize that if it's on a DVD Blu-Ray or CD it is digitized.It's just the means of storage and nothing more. I think this is what boggles me the most is that people fail to realize that the physical medium is of not important. SSD, HD, Disk....IT'S THE SAME THING!Disks scratch (I've got kids...believe me, I know).[/citation]
Clearly when I wrote digitalized I meant digitally distributed or a "digital copy", as in a file that is downloaded, streamed, not sold with associated physical media etc. Being a comment to an article on digital distribution and on a site made (supposedly) for tech gurus I thought that it would need no further explanation. I appologize for being wrong.
And yes, discs do scratch, but HD's do crash. It's easier to put the discs away from the hands of children and avoid that kind of problems. Even if your disc scratches, you might lose an album, a movie or some data. However, when an HD crashes, you better have a good backup otherwise everything on it will be gone.
