funny how I felt the same way when I read it on a lazy Thursday afternoon.

illegal warez?

Note that the 200gb capacity enables you to store about 50 000 pieces of music. If this capacity is filled with illegal "warez" mp3s, you can be fined up to 75 000 000 USD. (204 800 megabytes, 4 megabytes per song, 10 songs per CD, average CD price 15 USD).

Who else besides the author has 75 million handy?

The whole point of excessive storage in a device is comfort. People like to have way more than they'll ever use just for the sake of it - Gmail is a particularly good example.

Don't forget that iPods don't just have to store music - I'm sure as capacities increase we'll move towards higher quality, even lossless music files as a standard.

And what about using it as a USB drive? Or they want to use Apple Lossless format?

And why does everyone assume that if you have more than X gigabytes of music you must have stolen it all? I have 17GB in my iTunes library out of 21GB of potential (if I hadn't deleted the songs I didn't like) music. Where did this all come from? 95% from CDs I own that are sitting in my living room (minus the odd CD that only had one song I liked on it and sold to the used CD store). Of the rest most have come from either iTunes Music Store, EMusic.Com and a few from artists websites. How the hell could I have done this? Easy. I've been buying CDs since 1987.

I find the knee-jerk assumption that large storage automatically means theft offensive. Take your "you must be a thief to want this" attitude and ram it up your ass.
