    Note that the 200gb capacity enables you to store about 50 000 pieces of music. If this capacity is filled with illegal "warez" mp3s, you can be fined up to 75 000 000 USD. (204 800 megabytes, 4 megabytes per song, 10 songs per CD, average CD price 15 USD).

    Who else besides the author has 75 million handy?

      The whole point of excessive storage in a device is comfort. People like to have way more than they'll ever use just for the sake of it - Gmail is a particularly good example.

      Don't forget that iPods don't just have to store music - I'm sure as capacities increase we'll move towards higher quality, even lossless music files as a standard.
