[QUOTE="xxThyLordxx"]they are one of the inventors.zhino
yeah ...but they own the rights of BR ....!!
What makes you say that?
only because of these LINK
"Sony, by appointment by the above Blu-ray Disc Association Board of Directors as the Blu-ray Disc License Entity is responsible for Blu-ray Disc Information Agreement (IA) and Blu-ray Disc License Agreement."
Sony doesn't own the rights. Sony is administrator of the licensing program. The Blu-Ray Disc Association owns all rights.
and i also heard that they funded most of the development
but that is just what i HEARD

i think the same because ....c'mon  Pioneer, Philips, Thomson, LG Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp or Samsung easy can sell the license of blu ray but they dont do it ...maybe because sony is majority holder ..and boss of the project
They just helped develop it. But I believe Sony does hold the marketing rights..so thats why, when you see Blu-Ray you see the Sony logo not too far from there..
I'm fairly certain it was Sony/Philips who invented the CD as well. CDs have only lasted hmm 20 years? I'm comfortable that they know what they're doing with Blu-ray.
Man oh man, people love spreading incorrect information. Panasonic is one of many brands used by Japanese giant Matsushita not Sony. Other Matsushita brands include Technics and Quasar and some others.
