An Australian researcher has worked out how to store 1000TB on a CD
If this is real and can be commercialized it could lead to some pretty devastating fallout for the entertainment industry. You've got to know that there are a few obsessive archivists out there with pretty comprehensive collections of films spread across rooms of RAID arrays. When they can start backing those collections up for friends onto a single disc, ie a single disc that has more films than you could possibly watch in your lifetime the entertainment industry is going to pine for the days when torrents eve the big problem.<p>The same goes for rogue librarians, or Google Books employees dumping entire libraries onto discs and leaking them out.
