What will happen to Mac OS? Mac OS has changed alot, will it lose support of its lovers? I think OS X is great for a beginning, but people should tread lightly.
The problem is that nobody who is burning CDs for their own use is even violating any LAWS whatsoever. Of course if you burn CDs and sell them, well there is an obvious one.
And I really still don't clearly understand how Disney can make a claim that Apple is "fostering piracy". What about Roxio? Sony? and so on?
If you read the fair use guidelines it clearly says you can do anything with the CDs and MP3s as long as its for personal use. And even if giving to a friend it is debatable but winnable nonetheless, if that CD inspires you to go out and buy the actual copy of the CD, you might have a case to argue....
I really think they are pushing it a bit...I don't think there are many virgins left, well those who haven't burned a CD, on a PC or a Mac, or recently the CD recorders that are coming from Philips and so on....and I really do not think that anyONE has ANY right to destroy anyone's ad campaign...everyone knows you can burn CDs with any computer and any CD burner...not a big deal, I hope...

Yeah, I like it too. I miss the old rainbow though.
