Countries banning blank media~!

[BAZ]

I've read several articles on the topic of a few countries banning blank media to prevent pirated movies/games.

I think this is just wrong, and I hope it doesn't come to USA.

Example, UK+ several other European countries banned R4 media (nintendo DS shaped storage devices).

God, I hope SONY doesn't win 'BAN all non Sony memory sticks' and they keep their 15-20$ per gig pricing!! (when others have 5-7$ per gig pricing)
