Because companies like Slim could go out of business if a tighter law required them to provide information on every song that a player has played, serial numbers on players, new hardware designs being mandated to enable such changes, etc, etc, etc. It's a dominoes thing, if the Supreme Court sides with the RIAA and MPAA then we are going to see some big changes happen very quickly in the computer/software businesses. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
