you stole that lawyer thing... anyway if anything comes of it even an idiot could dance circles around this copyright claim... you just can not make a sturdy copyright claim out of a short string of hexadecimal that could be in use in any number of programs.... EDIT: btw I pissed off some people because I brought to light the fact the HD-DVD group sponsored Digg....my stories got like 1000 diggs in under 16 minutes.... LOL UNEASYSILENCE got me in a screenshot before the story made it big and was hidden uneasysilence.com/archive/2007/05/10519/I am the 2nd story...

hmm...this makes for interesting talks....I guess I didn't notice it, but that string is for both HD-DVD and Blue-ray....which means the only thing they are fighting each other with now is total capacity....so I wonder who's going to win now....interesting indeed

Blu-Ray is doomed to failure....HD-DVD is already reclaiming its position on top after the initial shock of the PS3... BTW...many movies that Sony claims are blu-ray exclusives aren't....distribution rights for a lot of movies in Europe go to other distributors...so movies like Underworld and Underworld: Evolution (Sony Pictures movies) are actually HD-DVD exclusives in Europe and because HD-DVD is not region coded like blu-ray means I can import any number of 'blu-ray exclusives' on HD-DVD....

I wasn't going to get into this argument, but loker is right, i consider hd-dvd the better standard. Sony likes to keep things proprietary and seems to love backing doomed technology. (betamax, "memory stick," and now ps3/blueray?)
One of sony's biggest interests in creating the blue ray standard was to keep control of region based distribution. Sony, being a distributer faced a loss of profit if hd-dvd (regionless) became standard. It seems sony would rather make more money than encourage fair trade. (region coding is bullshit)

Also I wanna add its all moot anyway...
Wal-mart has been pretty open with the fact that they will not be carrying blu-ray players after Q4 and possibly wont even carry blu-ray movies....They have on the other hand found a Chinese company that is going to make them TONS of HD-DVD players cheap that they can sell for $199 in every Wal*Mart in the US, Canada, UK, and China....
It is devastating enough they wont carry the players...imagine if they decide not to carry the blu-ray titles? movie studios and player manufacturers would jump ship on blu-ray overnight....already on the heels of this LG and Samsung decided they would go dual format instead of blu-ray exclusive....
Not only that Wal-Mart has stated they are going to be very aggressive in promoting HD-DVD in stores and getting as many players out the door as possible and they are going to be cutting their focus on blu-ray through the end of the year until it is pretty much non-existent...
basically the jist is blu-ray aligned studios are going to have to either go dual format or risk losing much of Wal-Marts business and given how material walmarts business is to them they wont have much of an option...
Porn was the deciding factor in VHS vs. Betamax and as much as I hate Wal-mart you have to realize they are going to be the deciding factor in this war....
