Gartner Survey: Consumers Don't Want Crippled CDs

Posted by timothy on from the ask-if-they-want-bunions-or-acne dept.

robkill writes "According to GartnerG2, 77% of consumers believe they should be allowed to copy CD's for personal use in another device. 82% believe they should be allowed to make personal backup copies of CD's. Let's hope Senators Hollings and Berman are paying attention. More details can be found in this PC World article."

    To boil a frog, you can't just toss him in the boiling water, not being entirely stupid, he'll jump out of the pot.

    1. To boild a frog, you put him in a pan with some nice, cool water.
    2. Then you slowly turn up the heat. Very slowly, so the frog doesn't notice until it's too late.
    3. Then, once the heat is turned up high enough, the frog's goose is cooked!
