    ..so how long before a speak recognition engine comes out which can take your input in voice and search for the song?

    this is how they can avoid copyright problems, instead of people downloading music from each other - they just call and sing it to one another!

    Microsoft clearly has a monopoly in the OS market, which is where their anti-trust lawsuits are focused.

    Kazaa, on the other hand, clearly doesn't have a monopoly in the P2P market and therefore can bundle whatever they want with it without fear of anti-trust violations.
