Sorry, guys, you guys were played and played hard. You think that virus was an accident? Why should it have been; the music industry *loves* the concept of "Don't get music from unknown sources, it might format your hard drive."
Look up sustainable competitive advantage. If the music labels format my hard drive, I can sue them--I can't do that to some random web site--so boom, they got their SCA.
Humorous, to say the least.
Once you pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is no longer your friend.

Duh.
It's the seedling of doubt. Follows from the last completely unsubstantiated MP3 Virus Scare that *nobody* knows where it came from.
Look at how mass media tries to portray the internet--full of rumors, can't trust em, red light district...
The idea that the music industry would love MP3 to seem risky isn't THAT far fetched, Tom.
