Wouldn't using one of these be some kind of DMCA violation?
"Look man! I just used an e-bomb to beat your encryption and destroy your data!"...and yes, it would be sweet to have a cluster of these...
Being the music junkie that I am, I have formulated my own solution - I only purchase cd's from pawn shops. I know that sounds strange, but there are lots of shops in larger cities that only purchase non-scratched cd's with their original cases, and in lots of cases, I have purchased music that I HAVE heard on the air. In the end, I get the music that I want (even though I often have to search around) for 2-3 USD per disc. I get a good deal, and the RIAA doesn't get my money. I have purchased maybe 3 cd's at full price in the past 5 years, but hey, what are the odds of finding Steve Vai in pawn shops? I save lots of money, and I feel like I've won a little victory. Everyone should try this.

I could see M$ having a fit about penguin-shaped holes in their windows....
I have to agree that cd prices are way too high. I make descent money, but I still cannot afford to pay 15-20 dollars just to hear something that I like. What makes it worse is that I listen to alot of stuff like vai and the donnas, who don't tend to get very much radio play. For the last 5 years or so, I have only purchased one new cd, and that doesn't include the ones I have recieved as gifts. I sometimes feel that even used prices get to high at big chain music stores, so I try to shop at pawn shops -- there's no telling what you can find there, and at 1-3 bucks each, that's a steal!

I think that Weezer's "Hash Pipe" video would have been cooler if the Sumo's would have had these things...

What's that got to do with motorcycles, let alone...well...darn near everything?
It's not a flame, I used to play the game all the time. Im glad to see a (potential) comeback of this system.
Don't Make Copies, Asshole!!!
...now if they could switch to hot air power, that would be something!
I hope the Jurassic Park team and Blue Oyster Cult are wearing lead underwear!
