Blu-ray won because HD-DVD got cracked

I can't believe I didn't think of it before, but probably the main reason the movie publishers got behind the Blu-Ray format was that HD-DVD got cracked and decrypted.

PS - Because surely that won't happen to Blu-ray too.
PPS - Except it did. Quickly.

My favourite quote from the article is this:

"They're like blacksmiths meeting to figure out how to protect the horseshoe racket by sabotaging railroads.

The railroad is coming. The tracks have been laid right through the studio gates. It's time to get out of the horseshoe business."

It's so true. Why don't they understand that?

Maybe they fear it. They haven't figured out how to make money here, so they stick with what they know.
