Certainly though MP3.com's current method is insufficient since it only demonstrates momentary possesion.
Well, unless you want a police-state, that's as good of proof as you're going to get. Besides this method of circumvention requires repeated and obvious breaking of the law by the consumer - the consumer is more likely aware that he/she is breaking the law when giving a CD to a friend so that friend can listen to the CD on my.mp3.com
These same people are not so aware they are breaking the law when they simply download a file on napster.
I haven't contributed to D. net for slashdot (though I have for my school's team) and I got the spam. So maybe it was a generalized D.net attack against all teams.
O come on. People aren't going to be running their own unique hacked version of the client. We just want an open development environment so the software can be improved. There will be "official" releases that everyone uses from the main web site, just like every other free/open project (kernel, gnome, kde, etc.).
