What disturbing to me is that they made him sign these statements:
Mr Moore acknowledged: "It is not and has never been the case that [a] person has the right to make a 'back-up' copy in any digital media of [any] commercially released sound recording."
Would this hold up in US court since there is actual written law about the right to "back-up" / "Fair-use"????
Music Industry Piracy Investigation Unit spokesman Michael Speck said the case confirmed use of CD burners constituted a breach of copyright.
"Any legitimate use of them is purely incidental to their main purpose which is to infringe copyright," he said.
How can these people be considered "experts" when they make statements like this!!!
"suffering weeks without internet access, movies, music, and so on, all just to find out that their suffering has all been in vain."
who will be suffering? The point is to go about your life without these things. If you are suffering, there is no point because you have a mind set that you can't live without them.
How can the Vivendi/Universal complain of piracy, when it was someone *INSIDE* the company that initially *Pirated* the copy that is now on the internet.
Someone needs to post this retort by Lineo somewhere where MS supports will read it. That way, they can see for themselves how badly skewed MS point of view is.

I have read where Sirius is planning on streaming video along with their current music. This way they won't be left in the cold.

The new MSN 8.0 has pop-up blockers. It's instrumental to their ad campaign.
