Hey there Aroc,
We might not get to choose our battles, but we can support those who’s interests coincide with our own. Lets hope the $ follow Phillips and not the loser (protectionism at any cost) companies.
I wonder if those FAT protectionist companies aren't barking up the wrong tree anyway. ...Seems to me that companies like Microsoft et competitors stand to do a lot more to effect data-transfer & media/copyright infringement issues. Look at them going after the video game market - Sony be damned!
As long as MS can successfully protect their own intellectual property they won't care what happens to the recording/music industry - unless it makes them $ to be interested. I'd say we've got a better chance of an IT company coming up with a better (data) 'standard' than the music industry.
Just another rant…
:>)
