It will just keep getting worse until some new "disruptor" enters the marketplace. That one will be great for a while, then collapse into a new archipelago of shitty cash grabs.

I'm just wondering what the next big thing will be... Maybe some kind of local macro-kiosks that have mechanical DRM units that store all the data so they don't have to negotiate with the non-open ISPs. You could probably even include impulse sales of physical merchandise and consumables while people browse for the media they want.
