Everybody wants to rule the media world

Here we go again The ability to control what you can and can not do is just so important that everyone wants to rule it wil iron fist. Sony wants to prevent you from streaming, MS wants to prevent you from ripping. Both sides are pretending that the new format is due to lack of storage of the current DVD system. The reality is, they can't control the current DVD format effectively. So of course, the solution is, let's introduce more crap that's incompatible, but enable them to let you do less so they make more money. How did we go from using techologies to solve more problems to using it to let you do "less"and create more problems? The big loser in this is, sadly all of us.
