How correct he was.....

"The total market for CD copy protection may eventually be valued at more than $100 million a year, Mr. Krepick said. That could mean a lot for a company that posted revenue of $102.3 million for 2002. Macrovision, however, faces competition from smaller companies such as Phoenix-based SunnComm Technologies, which some say has an edge.

"Playability is our No. 1 concern," said Nathaniel Brown, a spokesman for BMG, a record-label owned by Bertelsmann AG. "At the moment, SunnComm is ahead of the curve in terms of playability."

"The concern with Macrovision is that we believe SunnComm will be the first to go to market with a major music label, giving them a step up in the competitive front," J.P. Morgan analyst Sterling Auty said."
