This can only happen if there is large scale rebuilding of the internet infrastructure. It's already starting to run into problems because the usage is so high. Before too long we may start experiencing bandwidth traffic jams because of poor planning by those who have the hardware in place. It's because of this that a totally internet based movie and music industry would be very difficult.
Besides, once laptops switch over to solid state, the price of production will drop off considerably. Considering that 1) it can't be scratched, 2) it has MASSIVE storage capability, and 3) it's rewritable, it seems the best option currently on the horizon. BTW, if you're an investor, solid state seems a good place to be right now. If you don't hurry it will be too late. I moved some things over there about 5 months back and am already seeing the growth trend start.
