Dave, For IP, if you wish

So Sony is indeed faced with a problem -- and perhaps an
opportunity -- depending upon how they react to these developments.
Alas, Sony doesn't exactly have a good track record on turning
groundswell to their benefit. The aphorism (not of my coining)
"turning an opportunity into a liablility", comes to mind.
Both Betamax and Minidisc were great technologies that were
effectively smothered to death by Sony's fear of losing control of
them. While Sony management is slowly realising that this may be a
counter-productive stance, I doubt their coporate culture can change
that quickly. For example, when their recent portable players were
able to play plain mp3 files, this was seen as a major step forward.
Best
Johan
