Kevil, how about the DVD's, you have for burning, a DVD(+)R and a DVD(-)R Along with the DVD(+)RW and the DVD(-)RW. And that is not only for your DVD Burner it is also for your DVD Player which also must accept the (+) or(-) or like ,my new unit it accepts both the (+) and (-). I just happened to luck out having a friend along with me when I bought my new unit, Marion ruined our old + unit. Circuit City had a DVD Player on sale for $69.00 and I was going to buy it but my friend pointed out that it would only accept the (-) type of disc's and my burner was a (+) type burner. My new DELL puter now accepts both the (+) & (-) DVD's so I can burn either one.

As for better arguments and examples, how about the current problems with DVD-Audio and the music industry's attempts to coerce the hardware manufacturers into building outrageous copy-protection schemes into the hardware itself? Or what about the extra cost of blank CD-RW disks vs CR-R's?

What is said below about DAT recorders in Europe is complete nonsense.
I am from The Netherlands, and have been working a long time for Philips who
was (I think) the inventor of the DAT recorder.
The DAT recorder has never been a success. Also in Europe I think it is
virtually impossible to buy a recorder nowadays. Also the tapes are probably
not available any more. (And this situation already exists for quite some
years)
So while agree-ing that we should be very aware of what our governments do
for whatever clear or unclear reason, we should use correct arguments and
examples.
