It's not legal to offer legal advice without having a corresponding license in Germany (a law first introduced by the Nazis which, although nobody sees a need for it, has survived all the way till present day) and it can cost a few hundred €€€s if someone decides to earn  a few bucks on you. That's how German legal system works.<br>So I figure there are other countries with similar issues as well :-)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kleena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 3rd 2007 5:36AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BMG suing creators of MediaMax DRM for $12M]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</guid><description><![CDATA[HAHAHA!!! only an effin' lawyer would put a disclaimer like that on the bottom of a blog post!<br><br>man, those kids are PARANOID.<br><br>classic.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2007 2:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BMG suing creators of MediaMax DRM for $12M]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Better safe than sorry...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andir3.0]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2007 3:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BMG suing creators of MediaMax DRM for $12M]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</guid><description><![CDATA[maybe i'm a moron but i dont get it???]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[silverblackvoid]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2007 3:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BMG suing creators of MediaMax DRM for $12M]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sony BMG paid a company to create a copy protection solution for their audio CDs.  The company created a solution that some people had severe issues with (and were unable to fix).  Sony wants to recoup some of the loss of sales from the trouble this copy protection scheme caused from the people that created it.<br><br>Think of it this way.  You are in the market for a file utility to protect your customer's data.  You buy a solution from a company and you find out later that the solution you bought is causing all your customer's PCs to stop booting up.  What do you do?  Suck it up and pay out extreme amounts in customer support or go to the company that provided you the faulty solution?  Sony is going to the company that made the copy protection.<br><br>Another way to think of it is:  Blizzard contacts Starforce to put copy protection on their new Warcraft.  Some people find out Starforce is causing their PCs to fail and crash.  People get all pissed at Blizzard for crashing their system, when in fact it wasn't entirely their fault.<br>(now replace Blizzard with Sony, Warcraft with Music, and Starforce with MediaMax)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andir3.0]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2007 5:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BMG suing creators of MediaMax DRM for $12M]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Look, the kettle is suing the pot for being black!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[darter9000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 13th 2007 7:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sony BMG suing creators of MediaMax DRM for $12M]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/sony-bmg-suing-creators-of-mediamax-drm-for-12m/</guid><description><![CDATA[Looks like they are starting to eat there own.
