@Gavin, You do know that Blu-ray isn't totally owned by Sony, but founded by 9 companies: Matsushita, Pioneer, Philips, Thomson, LG Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, Samsung and Sony. All together, there are 18 members in the board.

Besides, this fine was for a cartel for controlling 85% of the professional videotape market. It has nothing to do with consumer electronics. If it were not for Sony's PS2, we would not have DVDs at such low prices. Think about that instead.
