This just isn't correct. Just because a movie company doesn't want their movie sold on VHS tapes doesn't mean others cannot choose to sell it that way. They are rejecting the option of having their media available on that medium, they are not rejecting the medium.
For MP3 you can play them on many other mediums than a solid state disk. Again, you can choose to not sell you music on MP3, that doesn't mean you are telling people to not make a solid state disk.
