Why tech firms are out of tune (BBC)Why tech firms are out of tune (BBC)Posted Jan 11, 2004 18:50 UTC (Sun) by tjansen (guest, #18615)Parent article: Why tech firms are out of tune (BBC) I am not sure whether this is funny or sad. By propagating DRM companies like HP are helping the competition from countries like China to be not only cheaper, but to have also better products.

Having the best product by blocking anyone who tries to sell a better one is hardly a new approach.

Simply because Europe and other big players have shown little or no spine in resisting America's preposterous, anti-consumer, shameful IPR/DRM demands.

(market strategy and the DOJ settlement probabily has something to do with that). Meanwhile i'm trying to build a personal PVR system with knnoppix;
