Wait, yeah.. I remember that big petition that passed around the US on fidonet, then via fedex that we all signed stating we'd rather give up years of perfectly good research and development of audio standards that have reached a point in which they allow citizens to develop and trade their most important cultural language, music. I think I remember signing something waiving my rights to food as well. sheesh.
Ah, but remember that they admitted at the beginning of this year that they too have security problems and will maintain focus (vigilance!) on reporting and fixing proper holes and bugs- they've always had these procedures in place.. and it's been painfully obvious they release them only when its a wide spread problem.. _or_ when it will help their newest release in the long run.. imho
Doesn't anyone consider this a mysterly convenient way to incourage the masses of windows users who won't drop them to move over to XP? All the news sources highlight that XP isn't vunerable.. yeah.. not with THIS flaw. I wondered how long it would be before they started admitting the really bad flaws in all the other versions to move everyone towards their.net mordern os. hmph
or maybe I'm just nervous 'cause my coffee just accidently cross bred with a poison-ivy staph-infection vaccine GE plant and was recalled after I drank it

It could be almost anything and nay saying it to death will impose a self-f-blahblah.. Think of it- musicians grab their bands name as a biz, get a tax ID and a bank account.. put up a site for small time distribution. Sell CDs, give away MP3s. If enough bands (replace with alternative underdog in the corp. contractual world) use this method of distribution, it could _possibly_ be one of many small rifts needed to shift the power away from those that lobby for all of these dandy property and censorship laws. Take their money away through new channels, it may adapt into something wonderful. Don't kill the chicken before it's crackin man.
I'm a Chippewa from North America (Michigan Kalamazoo area), and I gotta hand it to our not-so-good-at-English speaking friend here. He may need a touch up on grammer, but he speaks more of the truth than anyone yet. Of course, this is my opinion, like everything else.. but being half native and half irish immigrant into the US tends to put things in perspective for one. The Netherlands have the most Virgin properties of freedom left, though don't fool yourself into thinking atrocities have not occured there just as regularly as anywhere else.
