That way, ppl don't feel guilty about consuming data, and DRM becomes irrelevant.  And nonexistent, of course.  Why not enjoy this song?  Not only has it already been produced, but I've already payed for it, too.  Until then, well, I hope Linux kills Vista.  The world doesn't need more proprietary software.<br><br>Dedicated hardware can die too.  How about a label that says "This device can't do crap compared to a PC.
