C|Net News reports that Toshiba will be unveiling a new micro hard drive, about the size of a quarter, next month (Spare a microdrive, Toshiba?). The storage capacity is anticipated to be about 1-4 GigaBytes. Hard drives continue to kick Moore's Law's behind. Any consumer electronics device worth more that about $100 will soon have massive amounts of storage available to it. The advent of such huge amounts of storage everywhere has some important implications of intellectual property law. In particular, it significantly raises the cost of a mandatory DRM dystopia as well as the costs of monitoring for compulsory licensing schemes. Levy compulsory systems that raise money through a tax on consumer electronics and connectivity will be challenged by such rapid development. The digital revolution is far from over.
