So according to you both those companies are "world class parasite freeloader" even though both those fair uses created economic growth greater then the previous marketplace combined


Sony with the home viewing marketplace

diamond rio with the commoditization of solid state disk prices and all the technology that became viable because of that price reduction (cell phones, cameras, mp3 players, computer, pvr .......)
