Having lost already years of precious adaptation time in pointless fights against p2p services they are bound to fear all technical developments that promise consumers better bandwidths and larger storage media. But everybody knows that this is precisely what we are going to get. Year by year those bits will just keep getting cheaper and faster to download and to store.
It's ironic how even Sony's own technical division has to advice their music division in public to accept the inevitable:
Quote:
from the story:
Why Sony should want to launch a recorder that might make piracy easier may seem surprising, as its Sony Music division makes and sells CDs. While Sony Music did not want to comment on its sister company's launch, Mike Tsurumi, a president of Sony Consumer Electronics in Berlin, insists that the move makes sense. "The music companies need to change their business model," he says.
