Sony PRS-505 Reader and camcontrol load problem

[James Phillips]

I like to blame things like that on DRM. Proving it is the tricky part.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MagicGate

The Wikipedia article says the Sony Portable e-Reader PRS-500 did not support MagicGate, but future support is possible through a firmware update.

Regards,

James
