Sony: Case of Right vs Left Hand

Masem writes "Wired has an interesting article that explains the problem facing several of the megacorporations that have both content and technology divisions, as specifically in the case of Sony. The tech divisons want to offer the consumer all the possible options, while the media divisions are very concerned on DRM. While the two groups are trying to meet somewhere in the middle, they are still at odds about it, and also finding that that middle is becoming rapidly populated by other competitors (including Microsoft) in just how to empower consumers without sacrificing their copyrighted materials. Both divisions are trying to adopt to just changes in the landscape and hoping to find something that will work."

    Sure they will, they will just do something along the lines of warez sites: upload 4MB for every MB you download or you are cut off. In many slashbots' opinion, the proper price for something is free, even when paying for something gives you moral happiness and gets you a better product, like a properly owned Windows XP vs Linux.
