200-gig Blu-ray on the way
p2pnet.net News:- TDK, which has been selling a rewritable 25GB Blu-ray disc since the beginning of the year and recently announced a 100-gig prototype, says it’ll be shipping a rewritable 50-gig Blu-ray disc this week.
And it’s already working on a prototype 200GB disc big enough to hold 18 hours of high-definition video, says vnunet.com.
“The 200 gig test disc stores 33.3Gb on each of six layers on a single-sided disc, whereas the 100 gig prototype stores 25Gb on four layers,” says HDTV UK.
“Both are still within the tolerances of the Blu-ray playback specifications.”

Lets see, at 4meg per song that is 50,000 songs to be shared in one swipe. If smeting is sure is that this will be the greatest inducement EVER, to induce sharing.
I wonder
Is Sony sure of what they are doing, inducing infringement on a massive scale by developing huge infringement systems? Nothing like it before.
Didn’t RIAA work hard to get the courts to say that inducing was infringement? Will RIAA now fight in the courts to get the courts to reverse themselves, that inducement is not infringement?
BTW, Sony, the force behind Blu-ray is a proven massive copyright infringer:
Records with our songs without licenses: 24
Records with our songs with licenses: 0

And don’t forget those Sony DV Camcorders that the cam-kiddies sneak into movie theatres to record the latest boffo (or is that ‘barfo’) release from tinseltown and have it on a bit torrent tracker 3 hours later.
