Ok, I stand corrected.  However Sony was one of the founders of this association (and it should be obvious that Sony has advantages with the Blue Ray format).  So, there are subtleties to these points, but my points are still valid.

They were but they don't get any special treatment for it nor do other founding members: Panasonic, Pioneer, MIT, Philips, Thomson, LG Electronics, Hitachi, Sharp, and Samsung.

Don't get me wrong, Sony does have advantages in their design, development, manufacturing and distribution pipelines but Blu-ray really isn't one of them.

Special treatment is not really the advantage.  It's being able to heavily invest in the format from the get go.
