When I signed up to T-Mobile. They were VoiceStream at the time. There was a huge flaw. To to create an account they would SMS the password to your phone AND show it in a popup dialog on screen. It looked like some debug code made it to production. I had fun all weekended playing with peoples accounts.
Since then I have assumed there security was very bottom rung.
This idea is very flawed. A much better idea would be a netflix type CD rental, except they keep the CD in escrow for you and you own it rather than rent it. CDs could be bought or sold on the open 'virtual' market. You only get remote access to it. If you want physical access you pay for shipping. That remote access can be in a number of fomats from ISO,WAV,MP3 etc.
Once you have owned the CD for a day, sell it to someone else and erase your fair use copy. Next time you want to listen to it buy it again and sell it again.
Just like Cringely send some of those IPO shares to http://www.pcast.com.
Are you nuts. This product kicks butt compared to all the other IDE wannbes. Borland is the only alternative to Microsoft and doing a great job producing the best tools. It's revenues and share price (and profits) are all up up up.
What is there not to like?

Now watch subscribers who paid up to the RIAA sue the ISPs who handed out their private records.
The Lawyers win again.

So if I click on a link in Outlook the Web site gets to see my e-mail address.
Another reason to not use Outlook. Privacy.
