So was switchhouse. No one even bothers with physical media any more for music. Books and movies aren't far behind. Games are the only thing I can think of that might work and have some steam left in it.

Books and movies aren't that far behind, but they are behind. Here's a thought: a library where, to take out a book, you have to digitize part of the copy and give the result back to the library for publication to a website. Your allowed lending rate goes down if you do it badly. Add a mail-out option ala Netflix on that same website, and we're in business.

In the business of being sued?
