U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper stated the suits were moot since media companies agreed not to sue users in August 2003. She also pointed out that the suit brought by media companies against ReplayTV has been dismissed as well."

    It's one of the more frustrating aspects of our legal system (to me, anyway) -- the inability to pre-emptively decide issues.

    Just say that they have weapons of mass destruction, whether they actually do or not, and the government will take pre-emptive action against them.
