What means "to settle" in this context ?

It means that the court cases would not be prosecuted any further (if the court accepts the settlement) and Sony BMG will not be convicted, though technically found guilty.

(Sie sind dann schuldig, aber nicht vorbestraft, Alrik)

Okay ... this is roughly what I had almost expected.

Hahahahaha

Sony's Blu-ray (BD) disc drive won't play commercial BD movies!!

Sony really stinks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />

Huh? What do you mean?

Full story here
Blu-ray (BD) is a new format which permits significantly more data on a disc. Sony has made a Blu-ray (BD) disc drive for PCs which won't play any movies commercially produced on Blu-ray (BD) discs. That makes the very expensive drive pretty worthless.

Absolutely ridiculous! Has there ever been a more redundant piece of hardware than that?

I can only agree to that.

Never has a Smiley been more fitting than here.

Sony Pictures DVD’s have a new a copy protection that makes the movies unplayable--even in SONY DVD players.
