Philips incentive (Score 1)

Philips has come out strongly so far against "crippled" copy protected CDs. As a pure hardware company, they'd have no reason to put out a player loaded down with DRM. If they make a simple, functional portable SlimX type player that plays a DVD-/+RW filled with mp3s (oog?) it will become The Next Big Thing, and drive sales and adoption of DVD-/+RW drives. Lets hope the lawyers don't screw it all...
