Does nobody think that Sony are simply "placing thier bets"? Presumably, they 
have no idea which path the market will take; will the public be oblivious to 
the restriction of free use, or will they get upset and see DRM schemes 
dissappear? Sony, by producting two competing products, will win no matter 
what happens. The NetMD is thier Backup Plan (tm) in case thier corrupt-CD 
campaign fails.
