@Vamp898 It's not the same for every hardware company, though. Take Samsung, LG, Google, Nokia, all Chinese phone companies and so on. Take all the media industry in the past, and how not even Apple did what they did with MiniDisc, ATRAC, SonicStage, Sony BMG's outright illegal DRM, etc. I don't know of any other company that has gone to the lengths of Sony at protecting their intellectual property.

And it's all about software, not hardware. They can always sell good, competitive hardware
