If fanboys made the rules...

One bit of fanboy talk we've all heard is that it isn't fair that Sony owns a major movie studio and co-invents formats and makes players for them. Somewhere around page 4 of the HDDVD Zealot thread, a guy from AVS who claimed this was quoted.

Talk about grasping at straws. If a company weren't allowed to use something that it developed, there would be no innovation. We'd be living the same now that we did 150 years ago. Anyone who says that this isn't fair really needs to take a business class or two. Maybe learn a little about a concept known as vertical integration.

I wouldn't want to live in a world where I could not enjoy the fruits of my labor.
