- This is -not- conjecture. This is the reason why we do not have DAT today,
- except for introductory high-priced offerings. The audio industry put a great
- deal of pressure on congress (whoever, I am not certain), and completely stopped
- the introduction of DAT to the US. The response of the manufacturers was to
- change the sampling rate to prevent direct digital copies. This is history, not
- conjecture. Your assertion is one of ignorance, not past events.
-
- What has happened since then I have not followed. Here -I- am ignorant. But
- that does not change history.
