12000 is rather alot of money. and for 12000 its possible to hire sufficiently competent representation to fight, win, and possibly retrieve damages for malicious use of the legal system.
That would apply if you reasonably had an "expectation of privacy". If you have an expectation of privacy from a cell phone conversation, you are deluding yourself.

What about Blu-ray? This from the Blu-ray Disc License Site:
Nine leading companies have jointly established the basic specifications for a next generation large capacity optical disc video recording format called "Blu-ray Disc". The Blu-ray Disc enables the recording, rewriting and play back of up to 27 gigabytes (GB) of data on a single sided single layer 12cm CD/DVD size disc using a 405nm blue-violet laser.
"Blu-ray Disc" Key Characteristics
1) Large recording capacity up to 27GB (single sided single layer). 2) High-speed data transfer rate 36Mbps. 3) Easy to use disc cartridge.
The companies established the basic specifications for the Blu-ray Disc are:
* Hitachi, Ltd.
* LG Electronics Inc.
* Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.
* Pioneer Corporation
* Royal Philips Electronics
* Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.
* Sharp Corporation
* Sony Corporation
* Thomson
This sounds like 1 gig on a CD would be very passéif it ever takes off.
We need to work on your vocabulary. I can't really be a zealot because I just don't give a fuck about the whole deal. Apathy and being a zealot are damned mutually exclusive.
By expressing this "opinion", in the manner that you did, you have demostrated a lack of "apathy", thereby opening your argument to challange it diserves.

Music companies which use copy protection may be denying the artists under contract to them legitimate play time on radio stations, if the happenings at one outfit are any indication.
This radio station, which recently received its regular bag of freebies from EMI, finds that it is unable to play any of the CDs it received - the copy protection on the discs gets in the way.
EMI started issuing the copy-protected CDs in November last year. Many people have complained about them.
Record companies regularly send out free copies of most singles and hot albums hoping to get airplay on radio stations.
The station in question has no standalone CD players, just desktop PCs (all running Windows 2000) and a couple of old Denon CD Cart players.

Recent forecasts included one giving a 40 percent probability of a magnitude-2 to-3.2 earthquake last week in the Los Angeles area.
The area experiences about 1,000 quakes a year, making such a forecast a near-sure thing. There have been several magnitude-2 quakes within the last week inside the 50-mile perimeter geoForecaster Inc. uses to score the validity of its forecasts.
That's like living in Vancouver or Seattle and paying for a weather forcast that tells you it's going to rain.
