[Free-sklyarov-uk] Action that can be taken

[Jim Peters]

This is a suggestion that I received, addressed to
cd at uk.eurorights.org, and I think that the idea is interesting.  In
some ways, it's about forcing a war between the hardware people and
the record companies.

Anyone like to comment on this ?

I have a couple of ideas of how to put pressure on the record companies.

The Sony computer entertainment division that make playstation and
playstation 2 is the biggest source of income for SONY it brings in more
revenue than the rest of the company put together. One of the selling points
for the PS2 is that it can become the centre of your home entertainment
system being able to play games music and DVD's. Anyone who owns a
playstation 2 should write to SONY complaining that they can not play music
on the Playstation 2 so they feel they have been mislead by promotions from
Sony that claim that the playstation 2 is able to play CD's as it is clearly
not. At the same time write to the advertising standards agency and insist
that SONY include anywhere they mention the ability of the PS2 to play CD's
that they must include a statement that says that it is not a CD player and
so will not play all music CD's.

Encourage visitors to your site to go and register their complaint with
watchdog http://www.bbc.co.uk/watchdog get some TV coverage.

Microsoft and Apple are both heavily promoting the ability of their software
to become the digital hub allowing you to watch video and listen to music,
lets get them in on this as they have a lot to lose if the protection
schemes go mainstream.
