The public has no idea of the constructs built to handle this type of data. Now that we are being told, indirectly, that it's here to stay, where will it "sit" where agencies cannot get to it? On removable flash drives? Please...
Summed up: Greed and lawyers will ruin the prosperity and freedoms that so many people before us gave their lives trying to achieve. It's sad really. Lawyers make the laws instead of enforce them. Microsoft, Disney, RIAA, MPAA, just about every large corporate presence employs armies of lawyers to make sure that as many freedoms as possible are converted to "subscription liberties". I fear for our children, for they will be relegated to living their lives amongst mindless, mediocre drones. Our tech indistry will implode because before long, there will be more lawyers managing software licenses than developers creating software. We have diluted almost everything in life to nothing more than a quick fix for quick personal satisfaction. It's really too bad.
All I can say is....ewwww! I love my iPod and all, but this is a little too cute for my tastes. I'm sure they'll sell. People are so awestruck by celebrity that they will purchase just about anything to identify themselves in some manner or another.
I've been harassing Fox News over this and other copyright bologna for months now. I'm glad to see that they are making an effort towards exposing this scam and all the frauds associated with it.

This debacle should only help legitimize bitcoin, as corruption surrounding the currency is now a public matter.
