In the 18th and 19th centuries the Rothschild bankers made a fortune by loaning money to (if not inciting) nations at war - and preferrably both sides at the same time - patriotism be damned! Sony has acknowledged the reality that people are going to be "pirating" anyway, with or without them, so it's always better to be the one selling equipment to pirates than to have someone else profit from it. Sony's only tactical error was in failing to aggressively develop "piracy-inducing" products - and allowing Apple to beat them to the punch with their highly profitable IPOD.

Sony has acknowledged the reality that people are going to be “pirating” anyway, with or without them, so it’s always better to be the one selling equipment to pirates than to have someone else profit from it. Sony’s only tactical error was in failing to aggressively develop “piracy-inducing” products – and allowing Apple to beat them to the punch with their highly profitable IPOD.

If the Induce act passes, won't that mean the RIAA and MPAA will have to sue itsself for offering files for download on P2P networks. Also RCA, Sony, and all other TV makers will have to be sued for making a device that makes me want to copy the tv shows "hellywood" produces. I beleve that should be the "INDUNCE ACT" It's takes a real "dunce" to come up with something like that. Mabey we should look at filling a class action suit against all company's that produce multimedia in any form. Question?
