With a cognomen like “ The Father of DVD , ” I estimate Warren Lieberfarb can say jolly much anything he wants about the format these years . And yesterday , he gave a surprising voice communication in which he blast Blu - irradiation . Taking the next - genesis videodisk battle another step into uglytown , Lieberfarb said Hollywood is acting like a bunch of lemmings , following blindly into Blu - ray ’s camp because of console battles rather than following their best interests . Accusing Sony of strong - arming the diligence , he had this to say :
If you ever translate “ The Art of War , ” you will see all of Sony ’s moves , including taking all its foeman in the same tent and then leave behind them empty - handed , are things that they have done historically . They did the same thing to Matsushita and Betamax , they did the same thing to Matsushita on heavyset phonograph record , they did the same thing to Matsushita on the digital video camcorder .
Those are some strong words , Dad . Of course , it ’s interesting to note that Lieberfarb is working with Toshiba and Microsoft as a adviser , so best take this with a cereal of salt .
