Re: Not if the RIAA and MPAA can prevent it
Sony is a member (i.e. they ARE) of the RIAA and MPAA. What this means is they have DRM measures nearly in place to stop piracy. So, now they will "allow" broadband to be recognized as having a future. Or something to that effect. |

i'd have to say Sony is a rare breed; they're in both 'camps' and are innovating their way through to the future. other than their failed sdmi, sony has really been one of the only CE companies i know of that thinks so progressively. either way they're making money (selling media (movies/music) or selling consumer electronics), so unless they pull some new drm crap now, their future looks bright to me.
