Have you ever heard of Shared Media Licensing? I believe they're
currently gunning for the patent to place the purchasing system for
DRM protected files inside the file itself. This makes burning the
data to CD or DVD for bulk distribution a cheaper alternative to
direct download.

Will this container eventually cover text and graphic files as well?
