For the two competing formats to disallow UP brings us dangerously close to anti-trust action. If the copyright is protected, if IP is adhered to then there's no real reason not to have a UP.

The issue of whether either format is genuinely better will become moot in the face of sheer volume of playback devices in homes making the decision for most of the market yet to come.]]>Mar 15th 2006 2:55PM
