Well, if money could buy happiness ...

maximize profit, disregard law, ... yeah, these are the right rules ... weren't we talking about sucking people ?

I, for myself, HATE to be treated as a potential outlaw needing me to be jailed in advance.
When I buy media, all I want is using it as I have PAID for it AND on the device I have CHOOSEN ...

now, I've bought a portable media player that reads the >>FREE<< OGG Vorbis format and runs fine on linux. I also do NOT buy CDs that are copy protected.
