I agree with this statement but some people have that 'hoarders' mentality when it comes to digital material.
Before the flooding in Thailand, hard drives were basically free and internet speeds are increasing generally throughout the world.
My ISP is working on releasing (albeit in a very limited area) gigabit fiber to home service for $70/month. I'd say that most major cities in the U.S will have similar type connections within 5-7 years. Then will piracy increase when people want to take 'advantage' of that speed?
