Congress Debates Forced Music Compatibility

Congress Debates Forced Music Compatibility:The download music industry is fighting a proposal by US Congress to force them to make all downloaded music compatible.

probably a great step for consumers. interestingly though is that this is an issue for congress when one company has a 60-70% marketshare. in the past these problems were swept under the rug when some suggested it would be nice if there were software or file compatibility ensured by congress. it that later one unnamed company has somewhere near 90% market share. hummm wonder whose paying for the next election cycle? probably not the consumers!!!
