Re:MiniDisc itself is a Sony product (Score 1)

Are they really or does the price include an RIAA "music copying kickback" like the CD-Rs labeled "music" have? I know one poor guy who was buying those to put his non-music data on because he assumed that the "music" label meant that they were higher quality... I would expect that the assumption on all mini-disks would be that you were planning to put music that the RIAA and co. feel that they are owed "royaltees" on (I've always liked the word, it even emplys "payment to be taken by the fat cat at the top for the work of others) so you probably can't buy mini-disks at all without dumping money into the RIAA and SONY/BMG pockets.
