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."

  2. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci-Fi writer Stephen King was found dead at his Maine residence this morning. Apparently, the Lord smote Mr. King when he was outside working in his garden because he believed in evolution. Witnesses described the smiting as a "big round ball of light." There weren't any further details. I'm sure he will be missed by the Slashdot community - even if you didn't enjoy his work, his artificial lung machine has helped many chronic smokers live rich and full lives. Truly an American icon.
