I'm new to DNS and HTTP, so please pardon me if this seems like a stupid question. It would seem to me like all that's necessary is to blackhole anything from a doubleclick.net domain, right? Is routing to 127.0.0.1 the same as routing spam email to/dev/null? Besides doubleclick, I've also seen adforce.imigis.com a bunch. Anybody ever heard of these schmucks?
Just like they did with the Diamond Rio and are trying to do with Napster and mp3.com. Plus, what happens when a newer, better digital music format comes out? There's already an open source digital music format whose sound quality is just as good as MP3 if not better. Will this contraption support it, or the other formats such as.vqf? I'm sure it will be about as upgradeable as a typical Dell PC. In other words, prepare to shell out several hundred dollars more for another of Dell's proprietary boxes.
