Well of course not, this is a luxury item related forum and thats what we like to talk about :) I agree with what you are saying regarding people voting with thier wallet. But as mark touched on, it's the wider context thats interesting here. This is the first time anyone has seriously challanged, at governemt level, the use DRM and an anti-competition method. Locking down DRM to a single product manufacturer does nothing to aid the fight again piracy (if anything, it fuels it). It's pure profitering. Nothing wrong with that, it's a free market, But this kind of missuse of the technolgy and missleading the public is only hindering the free market. You might not give a monkeys ass about itunes, ipods or even the french, but this could have positive implications for us all. -- dangerous_dom ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dangerous_dom's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1763 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22423 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
