That's not a problem, that's a feature!
What this system could provide long-term is the ability to spot and predict the possibility of a bubble being created, before it is actually out-of-control. So instead of predicting imminent bubbles which are due to burst, systems like this could provide an early warning and hence allow the market to deflate the bubble in a more controlled manner.
Ultimately, this will lead to a more stable and more informed market.
Surely as peoples collections of digital music mature (whether acquired legitimately or otherwise), you would expect exactly the results that that survey/study returned. Namely, that the number of people who have used P2P to source music for their ever-increasing collection has grown (tick) whilst the number of people who specifically used it last month versus the previous month has shrunk (tick).
Inferring causality from correlation within partial datasets is always fraught with danger.
The real danger with strong neodymium magnets is that they are both brittle and extremely magnetic--as a result if you accidently let two of them stick together, they can sometimes attract with such force that they shatter and send thousands of poisonous shards out at high speed. Hence the reason why you should always wear hand and eye protection when handling them.
You should also avoid handling them if their protective coatings are broken as the rare-earth metals are extremely toxic and easily absorbed via mucus membranes.
Yes, even the USA. The Anthrax terrorist activities originated from an internal, domestic source. No-one is immune unfortunately.
The problem I have with fingerprinting visitors as par-for-course, is that it is vaguely reminscient of "guilty, until proven innocent" logic.
