@Silly_Goober @ai6yr Weirdly enough, there were actually plans for that circa 2000. The music industry predicted the move to digital media distribution, but didn't foresee it would be via the Internet. They imagined people going to music stores and buying SD cards. They even got as far as introducing the required DRM system that would allow people to move files one media to another, but not to copy it. It's never used, but support is mandatory in the SD card specification. 'Secure' Digital.
