Sony Predicts at least another 10 years of discs

Ars Technica has the story. When game discs finally go, assuming the DRM dragon hasn't been slain, it will create a world in which content will easily cease to exist. When a company ceases to support a game or a platform, it would disappear, at least as far as the law is concerned. What would our society be like if the Greeks and Romans had built self-destruct codes into their books?

The ethical hacker could easily be a hero in that new future, saving works of art from DRM-induced oblivion.
