H-P urges Blu-ray to focus more on consumers

In the ongoing battle by DVD format corporations to protect “intellectual property”, there is a show of flexibility by one of those corporations to allow their format to be shared over a home network. The Blu-ray Corporation, whose technology aims to lock DVD information on the disk so it can’t be shared or copied, was urged by one of their backers, HP, to be more flexible in their format due to the competition, HD DVD (an Intel and Microsoft-backed company) allowing the consumer to make a copy of a legally-owned DVD and store it on a home network.
