The RIAA can be as creative as it likes, but it won't be successful until it's as easy as search, download, doubleclick after finding it in the massive and unorganized "My Shared Folder," play in shitty musicmatch jukebox that came with your dell.
Please note the absence of any prior or integrated payment method. iPod users substitute "massive and unorganized 'My Shared Folder'" with "automatically yet questionably organized 'My iTunes Music' folder."

simple: less of us nerds hate linux. That has to be at least part of the problem. I see it as a Mountain Dew or Crab Juice kinda decision for those blessed with the ability to talk to computers.
I've always wondered about this - I don't seem to know why this hasn't been done already. Maybe someone could sneak it in as an unrelated provision sometime soon;) So basically my question is this: what's the official excuse for the lack of such a law?
Market research would correctly assess that I would like the possibility of an mp3 ringtone, but they seem to also think that I would A) want to buy the ringtone from them and B) want it to be blasted so heavily distorted from the tiny speaker that although it can be heard in neighboring states, no one can tell what it actually is playing.

In that case it shouldn't be long before somebody gets Linux running on it.

True. Isn't this game of cat and mouse what keeps many of us interested?
It's about time to require a new firmware version for all new games

Well that takes my streak of "comments read on /. not mentioning Big Brother" back down to zero.
I was going on double digits too, damn you.
Even your blurry vacation photos? oh, in that case I do believe I have a confession to make.
