(‘digital distribution’ is the ‘delivery’ (or ‘distribution’) of ‘digital media content’ such as…)
‘audio’
‘video’
‘software’
‘video games’
.
(the term is generally used to describe ‘distribution’ over an ‘online delivery medium’ (such as the ‘internet’), thus bypassing ‘physical distribution methods’ such as [‘paper’ / ‘optical discs’ / ‘VHS video-cassettes’])
(the term ‘online distribution’ is typically applied to ‘free-standing products’)
(‘downloadable add-ons’ for other products are more commonly known as ‘downloadable content’)
(with the advancement of ‘network bandwidth capabilities’, ‘online distribution’ became prominent in ‘the 2000s’, with prominent platforms (such as ‘amazon video’ + netflix’s ‘streaming service’) starting in ‘2007’)
.
[‘content’ distributed online may be ‘streamed’ or ‘downloaded’, and often consists of…]
‘books’
‘films’
‘television programs’
‘music’
‘software’
‘video games’
.
(‘streaming’ involves ‘downloading’ + ‘using’ content at a user’s request (aka ‘on-demand’) rather than allowing a user to store it permanently)
.
(in contrast, fully downloading content to a ‘hard drive’ (or other form of ‘storage media’) may allow ‘offline access’ in the future)
.
(‘specialist networks’ (known as ‘content delivery networks’) help distribute content over the ‘internet’ by ensuring both ‘high availability’ + ‘high performance’)
(alternative technologies for ‘content delivery’ include ‘peer-to-peer file sharing technologies’)
(alternatively, content delivery platforms ‘create’ + ‘syndicate’ content remotely, acting like ‘hosted content management systems’)
.
(unrelated to the above, the term “digital distribution” is also used in ‘film distribution’ to describe ‘distribution’ of ‘content’ through ‘physical digital media’ (in opposition to ‘distribution’ by ‘analog media’ such as…)
‘photographic film’
‘magnetic tape’
