MacOPINION : Matthew Ruben Writes Celine Dion Killed My iMac! This is truely the most insightful and educational article i have read on the net in quite some time. Ruben breakes down all the components of the "color book" standards that maybe effected by Sony and how ultimately they may not even be the key to Sony's liability. i may disagree with his findings but as he puts it, it is difficult to determine weather or not these disks conform because the standards are not public. They are owned by Sony (along with Philips) and odds are they are not going to show them to non-paying licencies any time soon. In any case this is a very cogent article that articulately discusses not only the technology involved but the law as well. Very, very much worth the read for anyone who loves music and feels the RIAA/MPAA/Big 5 have started to cross the line. Next they'll be telling you what you can think about their products!!!
