The irony of Sonys malfeasance is that it appears it was more about trying to get consumers to pressure Apple to support Sonys digital format than it was about protecting their ip. And to make it doubly ironic, Apple computers can read the Sony CD's with no interference.
I, for one, have been boycotting all of Sonys products since they announced several years ago that they will not support the MP3 format. Fortunately, they make it easy to do this by producing overpriced products that are less than state of the art.
For cameras, check out Nikon. Their point & shoot digitals are some of the nicest. All the photos on my website were taken with a Nikon 995, and they're all at lower resolution than the original images.
