The cause of the original ban was due to a patent infringement accusation by LG Electronics of South Korea.

"The handling of multiple data streams, such as audio and video, and reading data from Blu-ray media caused LG to make similar complaints against Sony in the US, also."
ok this confusing the shit out of me, please someone explain. so what they are trying to say is that because a bluray can process multiple streams it infringes on a patent? not sure if LG is aware of this, but cds and dvds have been doing this for over 2/3 decades now.
