If they wanted to be really clever, they could also analyze the data when it's uploaded and encode it in a less redundant way... for instance, it's quite likely that large numbers of people will have very similar mp3 files... if you could figure out that 99% of a certain file is exactly identical to 99% of another file, why store that data twice? But, that gets very complicated... you're just shifting the hard drive costs into developer and cpu costs... so it may not be economical. |
