TexasDude, While you're doing your reading, I hope you checked out The Economist article which is now on the Wave Systems web site. It makes for good reading, unless of course you're on the short end of the stick. **Please note that WAVX IS mentioned in this article.** The Economist article puts to shame the hatchet job attempted by Claugus. Not saying that The Economist article is flawless, but it gets the key facts (relative to copyright protection) straight, in my opinion. Here's the beauty part of any e-commerce transaction security pissing battle. Let's say a bunch of different standards or, more aptly, platforms start emerging. One of the great things about EMBASSY is that it can support any and all of these solutions, assuring interoperability. (At least, I think that's the right technospeak.) And while on the topic of security. I believe some biometric security provider once said, "Ultimately, it doesn't matter that the machine is secure. You must validate who the USER is." And even that base is being covered through WAVX's "fingerprint" work with Pollex and, if memory serves, NEC. Isn't it great to be invested in a company whose technology addresses issues that are so top-of-mind now as to be noted by Alan Abelson? I mean... the tectonic plates are shifting... and topics like "free PCs"... "secure music distribution"... "dwindling OEM margins"... "Free PC/ISP convergence"... "electronic commerce transaction security"... "privacy"... "digital television"... "exportable cryptography technologies" and "copyright protection"... are all coming to the foreground. And Wave Systems is right in the middle or in the vanguard of all of it. Best Regards, c m
