I was writing about Sony having divergent interests in it’s music and electronics businesses.

It looks as though the electronics side is not loosing sleep over the MPAA’s lobby.

Take a look at this sweet PVR, the NDR-XR1 : a 80 GB hard disc and a DVD burner. Neither Tivo or SONICBlue ever dared to ship something like that.

Yes, I do realize that I am amazed by the implications of something that is no more than a VCR that you can use with more than one tape. Talk about lowered expectations… Thanks DMCA…
