These kinds of patent suits are happening all the time. Nothing to be alarmed about. But, I think Sony would be in a lot of trouble if Antitrust did an investigation as it is now a monopoly for HD Movie distribution.

 no they aren't

the entire BDA owns Blu-ray

Sony owns the key patents for the technology and licenses them.  Is it fair that Sony can sell a gaming console and blu-ray player for cheaper than companies typically sell just a blu-ray player?  And PS3 was sold at a loss to push blu-ray initially.  Can that be considered a fair business practice?  I'm no lawyer but I have seen a lot stupider stuff end up succeeding the US justice system.
