p2pnet.net News:- Sony recently introduced its latest mini-video recorder, notwithstanding that it’s also one of the owners of the Big Seven movie studio cartel which claims teenagers with camcorders are doing serious damage to its bottom line.

Apparently, the deficient copies of features which show up on the p2p networks are rivaling the full-blown releases seen in the movies.

Sheer nonsense. But that’s the claim, and it’s being swallowed whole by the mainstream media

So now JVC has come up with something else to worry the studios – palm-sized hard drive video cameras.

Obviously, with hard drives they don’t use removable media such as tapes or DVD-Rs, with all that implies.

“The JVC Everio G series consists of four models GZ-MG20, GZ-MG40 with 20 GB HDD that provide seven hours of DVD camcorder-quality video recording and GZ-MG30, GZ-MG50 with 30 GB HDD and 1.33 Megapixel CCD lens that provide ten hours of recording,” says a write-up in techsmec.com, going on:.

“Each camera is palm-sized with a design similar to a MiniDV camcorder, which means that they’re comfortable to hold and operate …”

Will cartel mouthpiece Dan Glickman soon be frothing and screaming about companies that aid and abet the ‘pirates,’ as Hollywood has colourfully dubbed people who use products made by the likes of Sony and JVC to make their own home movies of feature films?

Don’t stay tuned.
