However if Blu-Ray really becomes the preferred format for HD media we risk a situation where Sony gets final say in all HD content distribution because they own this heavily restricted standard.

That's complete nonsense. Yes, Sony and some other companies would have some ownership rights and licensing fees just like regular DVD or MP3 or any lots of other formats. But, "final say in all HD content distribution"? That's completely unfounded.

How did that post get rated a 5, "insightful"?
