And until people on the Internet become willing to pay for stuff.  The
"information wants to be free" culture is kind of a barrier right now to
putting serious amounts of commercial content on the Internet, and
ad-supported models don't tend to be as profitable online as they are in
other media.  Forcing the issue with DRM hasn't been successful either, so
we probably need to wait for online culture to grow up a bit beyond its
current "gimmee gimmee" stage.
