@edanosborne Someone said that Minidiscs are off patent. if that鈥檚 true, then it should be perfectly legal to make new ones without Sony.
I鈥檓 not sure about MiniDV.
Blu-Ray isn鈥檛 actually owned by Sony, but rather an independent association, so other companies can and should continue to make those. 路 1 week ago
Is there any way a company could legally continue to produce these formats? Or has Sony buggered us all by patenting and copyrighting them to hell? 路 1 week ago

馃捊 for life! Seriously, Sony lost me as a customer with the whole rootkit debacle of 2005. I haven't forgotten! Even though I was 100% Linux by then.

Your gemlog entry on MiniDiscs was my goto page for testing image inlining in kineto, an interesting read! I didn't know they were still relatively popular in their tiny niche! 路 2 weeks ago
