Your breakdown does not fit for those who must have access when they need it, not just when the cable is up. When I had a cable modem, the service was so unreliable that I had to keep an account with a dialup ISP as well. And the cable service was down often... I found myself thinking, "Wow, this is really fast. 0 Kbs. Woo hoo!".
My dialup service is slower, but unlike cable I have ALWAYS been able to find a number which would connect and have NEVER been shut out with it (AT&T Worldnet) in the two years I've used them.
What I find tiresome is the constant lying. Napster is like so many other corporations that just lie through their teeth because it's good for their bottom line, the truth be damned. I've noticed more and more as of late how truly ugly most marketing types are (and I don't mean physically)... it comes from having no moral direction... and Napsters line of BS is a prime example.

Rather than send the stego'd image to your recipient, post it on a web site. Something innocuous like a personal home page. "Here is my dog. Isn't he cute? Here are pictures of my wedding." In the stego'd image, along with your message put the url where the next stego'd message will be posted. That way, no site is used more than once. Great thing about this is that it's all in the open for all to see with no email to raise eyebrows.

It is a philosophy that I would advise people not to follow, but would advise governments to follow. What is a proper philosophy for a government (which is tasked with protection of its citizens) is not always a proper philosophy for an individual (who has a soul to worry about). - Le Marteau

I can see it now... the enemies of this system will simply dump HUGE amounts of meaningless data into it, overwhelming the given storage space.
