Smart cards, CD-ROMs, expiration of programs, blah, blah, blah. He's made up a whole fairy castle industry out of thin air without the slightest proof that it could even be viable.
Programs are programs.
So let's start by looking at what's on the television. They buy them from a cable television operator or, if they live outside an area with cable service or wish a wider selection, by subscription to a satellite broadcasting system. If you use a satellite dish, your receiver has a little slot where you put in a smart card. I believe that soon we're not going to buy computer programs either, we're going to subscribe to them. Programs are programs.
