Yamaha To Withdraw From CD-R/RW Business

Posted by timothy on from the when-giants-reconsider dept.

An anonymous reader writes "What's going on. When I first heard this I thought it was a bad joke. They make great burners! 'Tokyo, February 5, 2003 - Yamaha Corp. decided at a board meeting to cease sales of CD-R/RWs for personal computers and to withdraw completely from the business by the end of March 2003.'" Does any other company make burners that can burn an image on the CD?

    The RIAA/MPAA are finally getting what they want. Companies are bailing on cd burners. What's next, OS's designed without the 'copy' command for the sake of preventing piracy?
