my prediction for 2002 is there's gonna be a hella-war between the biggies in the electronics industry and the recording/movie industries.
electronics companies (unless legislation passes) are gonna keep putting out stuff without copy-protection built in, in fact stuff that works best with mp3, vcd, etc... and the movie/record folks are gonna get mighty pissed. the relationship between the 2 is already strained cuz of all this; i'm hoping this year it turns into a giant legal fight. that'll be funny. hehe.

The attitude of their record publishing wing is at constant odds with the attitude shown by the electronics people. The electronics division's inability to make the original PSX chip proof, despite something like 30 odd motherboard revisions proved that they are either ultimately incompetent, or are making token gestures to stop piracy, but are in fact not bothered at all, as all they want to do is to sell units...what people actually do with them (i.e. play legit games, or "backup" copies) isn't really their concern. In some ways, I guess this attitude is the same as those shown by gun manufacturers, or even the tobacco industry - all they want to do is make money, they don't really care who gets hurt or exploited to do so.... Sony, our ethical friend ?

both sony and phillips invented the CD. while phillips are obviously not happy about the idea of copy protection, sony corporation, the co-inventor and parent company of sony music entertainment, is all for it, or so it seems. should be interesting to see how this unfolds
