500 megs is more than *8* hours worth of music. That holds more than a CDR in CD Audio mode! I'd KILL for storage like that. ( of course if the bastards who made this thing keep the spec to themselves, then damn them)
Nothing to worry about. A good chunk of the copyrighted Mp3's out there don't even have that bit set. Hell, even the Rio does copy protection like that. If ther'es a copyrighted bit set on the ID3 Tag, and yes, it's there, the software won't copy the file over(or atleast in the Windows version.) and personally, I don't see any difference. 10 bucks for 500 Megs? Rewriteable and portable? Sign my ass up for that. And pray to god they make the tech for this an open spec.
If Card Captors was the most violent anime on American TV today, then DBZ must be a fucking tea party.
Then again it's CLAMP, the same motherfuckers who gave us X, or, "OMG! YOU KILLED... OH JUST ABOUT DAMN NEAR EVERYONE@!#&(!@&#_("
I do not want the RIAA interfering with what is out of thier juristiction. For refrence, I am an Otaku, a geek that obsesses over Japanese Animation, music, and culture in general. Anyway, I don't like American music. I don't know why, but I just don't. Anyway, the quesiton i'm asking here is why do I have to pay the RIAA for something they're not providing or artists they're not protecting? ( I'm sure the RIAA isn't protecting Gackt, Glay, X Japan or even Two Mix.)
The RIAA needs to get it's head out of it's ass and realize it's not loosing jack shit. CD sales have been UP for the last few quarters and that the only place CD sales have seen a major impact is near college campuses and that's because most students could use that 20 bucks for Snoop Dogg's latest CD on food, or books, or clothing. As well, there's more to music than what they "Protect." There are plenty of decent bands out there in other countries that could easily rival the talentless drivel here in the states. ( Not like Japan, Russia and several other countries don't see talentless drivel, but in Japan unlike America, talentless drivel usually filters out within 6 months, unlike, say, Metallica.)
Sure, they're good, but they're a really small number of Animated series compared to decent Anime series out there. Plus, they're mostly topical. Sure, there are some series which are plagued with the same problem( Just bout anything from rumiko takahashi ), but as a whole, the story and characters usually have a broader appeal than American animation.

To say that Lain represents the Geek culture is saying that Hackers achieves the same goal.
