Depends on the state of the market at the time. Penetration of PS3, prevelance of components vs HDMI. Both will have an impact, and I could certainly see Wallmart happily selling people component only HDTV's to make them look cheaper, knowing full well that they could turn up crippled. As far...

Except you neglect to mention the vast differences in disemination abilites of various P2P clients in contrast to those found in chat programs which are traditionally 1:1. Many P2P clients today tap a large number of people who have the same file in order to accelerate the download to...
