Violates Napster's user agreement?
Ehr..So does 80% of the Napster users, if not more, by downloading Music files and keeping them longer than a day.
Who cares..Sueing individuals for downloading illegal music is the same nonsense as prosecuting everyone with a VHS copy of some movie.
Napster's user agreement is a joke..
Then again, it's a very good joke that prevents them from being guilty of spreading illegal copies. They are not, and I think Napster is doing a great job.
True;)
And yet, our government seems to be far more effective than that of the U.S.
About the above assumptions that France and U.K would be more important in the European Union..
This is simply not true, if one of the core countries decides to step out, it will fall apart. The Netherlands is a part of this.
The point is, that they won't step out, because there is no reason to. UK and France wouldn't either. They wouldn't go head to head with the other countries openly. The only way there could be a REAL splitting of factions within the EU is if one of the countries would commit some serious atrocities. I don't see this happening. This is just going to be another endless debate that will eventually produce a vague law that only applies here and there blablabla.

It seems like some disease akin to the flu is floating around in the U.S.;)
From a marketing manager's point of view, it doesn't look like a decent sollution to anything, it looks like cash.
Personally, I don't see the point of such a product. You have 'firewall' software (BlackIce/Lockdown and other crap), which would perform the same function. The problem with these is, is that when you're on a LAN they're useless. This is another crappy idea that restricts infiltration protection to one machine, that is also dedicated to a user..A user who will always screw things up.
I'm using a rebuilt 486 with an LRP disk. It's never shut down, never rebooted, and will still be able to route/protect my other workstation if this one goes down. If I had one of those IMHO useless cards in this machine, my other workstation would be as useless as this one in it's inoperative state. (Unless I wanted to do something offline..which isn't likely:P)
