Somehow I doubt the 20 speed is going to shake the world. You can’t really find 18 speed discs on the marketplace as common wares. The burning speed isn’t just regulated by the burner but by how fast the disc will accept the data as well.

The cartels want the cd/dvd discs dead. It solves two problems for them. First it is the beginning of forcing everyone to buy yet again the music on their new formats. The second is that they believe they are getting closer to the holy grail of “no copy” with the blue ray.

In my estimation they aren’t. The anti-copy will be cracked as soon as it has a predominance on the market. They haven’t really locked it up yet so they will hope they can produce yet another format with that inclusion. Seems sort plain what the plan is to me in this regard. We’ve seen it over and over again in the past.
