No matter what they do, there will always be a way to rip a track of a cd. There will always be people trading, swapping, leeching pirated tracks. Yah, they are going to make it hard for the average Joe to make his own mp3z, but that same average Joe can jump on one of the P2P networks and download the tracks he wants. They are fighting a never ending battle, which costs money, which in turn will be passed off to the honest, loyal customer who actually goes and buys the CD for $15 - $20.
Whats next, am I going to have to buy a Sony Cd player to listen to my sony protected bullshit cd? If a CD is not ripable, it is not buyable. I hardly listen to actual CDS, all my 300+ CDs are ripped, none of which are shared on P2P, why should I be penalized for my neihbor boy who is sharing 100 MP3z on Kazza????
They must have removed the content from their site in fear that there NT box could not handle being slashdotted.
I recieved the following error message:

If I have a cd that is scratched I should be able to get a replacement cd at the cost of the medium since I all ready have bought rights to that cd. I also should be able to rip those tracks into mp3 for listening on my computer and mp3 player.
Like every other copy protection, it will be cracked and the pirates will distrubute whatever it is like crazy. I don't want to have to go and buy a New Computer, a New VCR, DVD, CD Player, etc. I want my current equipment to play future media flawless, and I don't want to be denied my right to far use. If I want to listen to a song on my MP3 player that I have on a CD, I want to be able to make it into a mp3 and play it on my mp3 player or computer.
I will not buy a piece of hardware or software that has this so called copy protection feature built into it. They should just give up on the fight, no matter what the pirates will pirate whatever they want. If there is a will there is a way.

StreamCast Networks' Morpheus--a file-swapping service that many have said would be impossible for courts to shut down--shut out most of its users Tuesday, citing "technical problems."
According this article posted on news.com http://news.com.com/2100-1023-845792.html
This is not good. Now the RIAA knows that they have the ability to shut down the network, this little problem may lead to the downfall of the Morpheus P2P Network.

Does any one know two words that when searched for in google will yield one result. I've tried for hours and can't get it to yield one result.

I just bring my old computer equipment to thrift stores like goodwill. Would I be subject to this fee if in the end I donate my pc?
This device could easily be used to curcumvent copy protection on the new copy protected cds, would that make it illegal under the DMCA?
Remove the bandwith caps from the resident networks.
i'd have to agree with you on the keyboards. They provide a true tacktile feedback :)
