The fashion industry gets away with planned obsolescence all the time by arbitrarily declaring clothes we just bought as having the trendsetting equivalent of a steam powered toaster. The stereo people right now are busy searching for a format to replace CD's because evidently people are clamoring for such precise sound they can hear the bass players arteries harden after his bacon triple cheeseburger with chili fries lunch.
