Quite expensive, though, not to mention the data or its parts are quite likely to get swapped out at some point. Our calculations indicate that you can store much more data than Nicholas suggested, although with some caveats, so paying $40 for a DSL line may be a cheaper alternative to buying gigabytes of RAM. There is only a limited deniability, of course, as someone might have been sniffing on you; thankfully, some of the methods we describe are actually "send-once, deliver keep alives later on", so it might be easier to deny the presence of any data. The purpose of the paper was precisely to provoke a discussion on more ambitious uses of this media, not to announce there is a new way to store your 1 TB mp3 collection. That said, I'd prefer to refrain from getting into a flame war and defending the paper by all means - you are free to judge it and to disagree; I would simply prefer if you could give it a chance.
