I think this is a good idea by sony. It's not their fault for wanting to protect thier product. After all, we are stealing when we copy CDs. Besides, if you're really determined to get an free copy of the CD, there's always shoplifting.
VoIP should not be regulated by the phone company, as they do not own all of the internet. It is the same as not allowing a new firm to enter the industry, which is definately a monopolistic tactic. Instead, the phone companies should learn from AT&T's history. Remember, AT&T is American telephone & telegraphic. They grew with the times back then, and the phone companies should change with the times now.
