Interesting: So in fact sony are selling a device that has software to encourage you to break law. In fact they are selling this device thats sole purpose is to copy CD's something that is now illegal even if you own the original.
Perhaps a test case against sony would force some sense to be seen in such matters. After all sony seem to like to take PSX mod chip makers to court for doing exactly what they are.
Yeah so now I have to throw away my Mini-Disk static and portable units. Leave my original copies of my CD's in my car so when it gets broken into next time they get all my originals which I won't get back on insurance because it's to exspensive to claim.
Interesting, however I think generally people here (sweeping assumption) object to the RIAA attempts to control fair use not the downloading of tracks they don't own and at the end of the day OS is about the good of all not about making money.
The RIAA doesn't help schools, the 3rd world etc etc OS does but SCO dont want that because all they see is $$$$.
Indeed I can only imagine the horror of losing blackbox/hackedbox and being forced into the gnome/kde bloatware camp.
Choice is what makes linux what it is, I don't like all this pandering to windows users trying to bring them on board. Linux didn't get where it is today by pandering to noobs, linux is linux not windows.

Perhaps you should consider upgrading your inter-person coms software out of beta too? :)
