Sony didn't invent blu-ray by themself, they own less than 1/4th of the blu-ray IP THe blu-ray disc association is

Sony, Panasonic, Pioneer, Philips, Thomson, LG (Lucky GoldStar) Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, and Samsung

Thus your friend real, or a figmant of your imagination. Is not very reasonable thinker

actually the BDA is just the association that controls the standard. Sony and Phillips developed Blu-ray like they did CD.

well, still they didn't develop it by themself. From the estimates I've read but could be wrong. Sony doens't even own 25% so wouldn't that imply they got funding to develop it from some of the Blu-Ray Association.

Kinda say relating it to videogames, Square Enix's IP DQVIII was developed by level five with influence from SE. thus I guess you prove your point

No considering the BDA didnt exist till after Blu-ray was first demoed by Sony. Sony doesnt own the BDA because the BDA is a group of company that came together to support the standards like the DVD Forum did for DVD before it. Sony and Phillip's own patent rights to Blu-ray. Its just that they wont enforce it due to Sony and Phillips dont want to kill the format. Could you imagine what it would have been like if Sony and Phillips demanded royalties for CDs or whoever made DVD charge royalties? the formats would lose content providers fast.
