Mark Cuban on the future of HD Media

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the something-to-think-about dept.

kcmarshall writes "Mark Cuban's most recent blog post talks about what media will carry HD movies and content. The post makes it obvious that he's not a typical exec with a secretary who checks his email for him. He writes about ripping DVDs "that [he] had PURCHASED" to keychain drives and copying HD content to an external FireWire drive. He believes that the solution to movie piracy is bigger file formats."

    ...and marked "Cuban" on my DVDs. Now what? Do I wait for the next article for more instructions?

    Is this some quest?

    Does this mean I will be able to buy the whole season of Bikini Destinations in uncompressed HD quality?

    DRM dude, where have you been hiding? DRM kicks the revenue back to the license holder because they retain control of the content.

    Is if the Dallas Mavericks can make it past the second round of the playoffs next season. Without Nash it could be a problem.

    Yes, because I'd sell the TV and then be able to afford DVDs.
