"First4Internet has indeed crashed and burned. Period"

The articles of late are clearly saying that Sony is going ahead with F4I. Why bury our heads in the sand? If they were dead, we would be reading that Sony are dropping them not rolling out disks with them.

The same with Macrovision. It was only a few months ago that someone was saying on this board that EMI would not even look at Macrovision because Macrovision was supposed to have lied to them about Microsoft (I'm not sure what the lie was). Yet we now read that EMI have issued 145m CDs using Macrovision without any significant problems and are about to roll more out in the US and UK, where they hadn't done before.

I don't know one CD that has Macrovision on it, yet does that mean the 145M from EMI and 300M from others have been on obscure astists too?

Perhaps the F4I releases were in the UK, where both F4I and EMI are based, and the rollout being talked about is their first in the USA.

SunnComm seem to be well placed and liked by BMG, but lets not bury our heads in the sand and think the others just have useless technology that bombs PCs. The analyst who reported to our club some weeks ago did not think MediaMax had any technical advantage over CDS300, but actually was lacking as an overall protection if you compared MediaMax to the combination of CDS-300 and Hawkeye.
