Did anyone notice that the bolded quote on the linked story has been toned down from the quote in the body? The "They're greedy" body quote which has been widely reported, has turned into "we".
Bolded quote: "If we want to raise prices on iTunes, it just means getting a little greedy - consumers won't like that. It will just be a message to consumers to go back to piracy and that's not good."
Body quote: "If they want to raise prices on iTunes, it just means they're getting a little greedy - consumers won't like that. It will just be a message to consumers to go back to piracy and that's not good. If the price goes up a lot, they'll go back to piracy and everybody loses."

http://www.tu-ka-kansai.co.jp/lineup/tu-kaS.html Here is a Kyocera phone that is really designed for simplicity. It is marketed at the senior citizen age group in Japan who are fed up with all the bells and whistles of most phones.
There is a demand for this kind of research, so it is inevitable. If we were realistic and stopped stuffing our heads in the sand, we would see that there is more chance of controlling this in the open rather than forcing it into places where scary stuff can really happen. The horse bolted a long time ago.
In-car TV is common for any fairly modern car in Japan. As you said the video will turn off when the parking brake is disengaged, however it is not at all difficult to bypass this safety feature. As a passenger Ive seen drivers watching TV at 110+ km/h several times on Japanese expressways. It's not at all comforting to see.
Living in Japan, I just accept it and use the cheap video rental, but I guess an obvious part of the problem is subtitling, but why it takes longer than other countries using subtitle, I don't know.
