Typical mentality for corporate America here.....I missed the boat on this new technology, so lets get a team of lobbyists ( or lawyers ) together and throw all kinds of cash at Congress ( or the court system ) so we can preserve the status quo. This country ( USA ) has AWAYS been in a state of change, and that includes it's economy. Thats part of what makes it a great country. Anyone seen a carriage or buggy manufacturer lately? Of course not...although a few do still exist....the horse and buggy are mostly gone from everyday life. Fischer Carriage became Fischer Body, is now part of GM, and makes car bodies. They ADAPTED....they didn't tell Congress that the internal combustion engine was evil and had to be banned because it cut into their revenue stream. The transportation industry evolved and we are all better off for it ( unless you throw global warming and enviromental issues into the mix ). The point is, we cannot let corporate greed stifle technological innovation. If we do, then our economy is toast and our form of government becomes a joke. Or maybe I should say it becomes a bigger joke. Regardless, if we let this type of censorship (technological) continue, we and our personal freedoms are in deep trouble. Just my humble opinion.
