Interesting article:
Blu-ray victory means royalties, royalties, royalties

This article has a few interesting tidbits about royalties in the DVD and CD industry and how it will apply now to Blu-Ray. Also about China's dislike for paying DVD royalties and their desire to have their own Chinese DVD and CD formats.

I was surprised to read that Sony owns no more than 30% of the intellectual property of Blu-Ray. According to the article:

"Sony doesn't even have 30 percent of the IP," Doherty said. "The top four intellectual property holders are likely Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, and Warner."
