In regards to trying to make software to stop file sharing. I ask Why? I say screw the record companies. Why is a CD $12 to pay a group of 4 guys to record an album and for each CD sale, they see about 4 cents. Compare this to a DVD costing about $16.99 which entails a film crew the size of a small army, a cast of actors making millions, post production crew, marketing dept etc etc. The film industry makes money so the music industry needs to tighten their belts and drop their costs. Prices of CDs hasn't dropped since their inception and yet blank CDs have dropped from $4 bucks a disc to about 25 cents. The problem isn't the people that have stopped buying the CDs, it is in the industry itself. I buy tons of DVDs but I don't think I have bought a music CD since the mid 1990s. If someone writes software to stop copying it, some 12 year old kid will either crack it within a month or we can always just play it then record it via microphone and then copy that. People are fed up. I don't napster due to the corrupt files that are all over but I just listen to the radio or my digital cable music channels. Good Luck, Lee
