Piracy Vs Hypocrisy

With the advent of sophisticated technology music piracy has become an issue of greater concern to the associated people. But lets first find out the real causes behind it. I think there are two main driving factors behind it. First is a cheaper CD/DVD writer available in the market and second are compressed formats like MP3, Real etc. But IPOD is bigger brother of above two.

You can store songs up to 20GB (min) and play it as per your wish wherever you want. They are quite handy and also weightless. Why governments of the world are not putting ban on such technology which is mother of all piracy means. Also company like Sony, who shouts loud against music piracy, being in the business of music CDs, also makes MP3 players and products similar to IPOD's. Have we ever seen any official MP3 CD from any music company on new releases? Then how on earth are they selling MP3 players. This is just like selling cars in market and putting ban on petrol and diesel. Now with the arrival of Video IPOD's in market what do they expecting people should watch?
