Re ...There is BIG money behind DataPlay remember Globalstar? Irridium? There was really big money behind those. Remember DiVx? The record companies want this to succeed because they see it as a way of locking people out of being able to copy content. When people find they cant copy prerecorded Dataplays (I believe thats the intent, am I correct?) I dont think folks are going to be rushing to buy unless they are very cheap. Probably cheaper than they are prepared to sell them, because if they are too cheap, that will impact the pricing of CD's. Should be an interesting next 9 months. Tw
