Anyone know if Sony receives any licensing fees on BluRay movies sold,
like they do on PS3 games that are sold, by other publishers from
themselves?

I am curious, because if BluRay does take off and they don't, unless
they manage to sell a lot of PS3 games, people buying PS3s as mainly
BluRay players will end up bleeding Sony dry financially.

Yes.... They collect a general license fee that must be renewed
periodically. That fee is loosely based around product volume from my
understanding and not per-item royalty based. Sony is being bleed dry
financially by PS3 or haven't you heard?

Sony makes money on each and ever disc that is made. Even the ones without
data on them.
