Well, here we go again, yet another frivilous law suit against an individual.
Too scared to take on MS for providing the solution before you even thought of your stupit, restricting product.
Do you not know that it is LEGAL in my country (Australia) to rip the music off the CD as much as I wish, as long as it is used my ME. Which is exactly what I do.
We must all do as I do now, and if you wish to purchase a CD, and see that it has copy protection, then put it back on the shelf.
When the CEO's of these money monolpolsing music companies (and their spin off "Copy Protection" producers) notice that CD's that aren't protected are out selling protected ones, maybee they will realise that we do not like such restrictions being placed on music that you wish to purchase.
When will the music industry realise that it is not copying, file sharing or the internet that has affected CD's sales, but the crappy music that they are pumping millions of dollars into.
They usually produce manufactuerd pop music, aimed at teenage girls. Hence the reason that most of the bands I listen to are local Australian acts, that work hard for their music, and do it because they enjoy it. These people produce full albums, with 50 - 80 minutes of listenable music, not just one crappy track, in amoust 10 shite ones, lie the big music companies do, eg Britney Spears, etc.
This needs to stop before people are being sues just for the hell of it.
Third of Nine.
We are the Americans. You will not think, you will not circumnavigate. You will be assimulated.
What we need to do is get some funding for a global advertising campaing against RIAA, ARIA (Aussie Equlivent), smilar organisations, and the Music Companies etc, telling the non slashdot community, and also non computer uers compunity to boycot CD's during that period.
To have an effective impact, it really needs to be a world wide, and also in conjunction with non computer users, to make a really effecitve statement to them.

It was not until Janeway got the deflector back online manually did the enterprise stop falling apart.
I hope this answers the question on the use of the deflector to stop space ripping the ship apart.
