I don't really see the point of all this "show me the evidence" demands. Is the suggestion that because these other companies don't maintain a list on their websites of copy protected CDs, that claims of 2M First4Internet CDs and 450M Macrovision CDs are fabrications?

I really think this board needs a dose of reality. We have been basing our understanding of competitive products on statements made by people on this board who make ridiculous claims that the other products are "blowing up" computers or simply don't work. Yet these same people make other statements in connection with SunnComm that have proved false. The fact of the matter is that the scorecard seems to be 450M+ Macrovision, maybe 15M SunnComm and 2M First4Internet. I don't know where K2Audio fits in. Lets hope we quickly overtake Macrovision to become the leader, but we do no favors by pretending they don't count because they haven't sold in the US yet. I'll take revenues in any currency, thank you.

Being factual is not bashing, but I've noticed that when some factual statements are posted here that may not be what we want to hear, the first thing that happens is the poster is attacked as bashing, or being too negative.

We obviously have a good product. We know because BMG uses us and continues to use us. Macrovision must have a good product too, otherwise they wouldn't have protected 450M CDs, of which 145M seems to have been with EMI. Sony obviously thinks First4Internet has something to offer. Which is best? I don't know. Maybe each of the labels have different needs and each has picked the product that meets those needs best. If that is the case, then our challenge is to improve in those areas our competitors seem best in and try and win the other labels.
