Idon't know much about proprietary software, but they do push proprietary hardware. iPhone is a big example, plus the bundled tiep-in with AT&T (shudder, they're a dreadful phone company, at least in my region).
The movie industry wants people not to burn illegal dvds and sell them on the street. What gets me is that you can go to ABC and watch "Ugly Betty", in its entirety, on their site, so why can't SciFi offer that on their site? It's weird how some networks freely give away some stuff, while others want you to pay for the air you breathe while switching channels ;)
