OT - Jeffrey Bash - I confess that I have a server with big hard drives connected to my DSL. It delivers the internet to me via a WiFi network. At the same time it delivers music from MP3's on the drives. Today you can construct a box with a terabyte of storage that will hold every song ever recorded for under $1000. It then becomes a wireless jukebox within your network. It's rather easy to fill that jukebox since there are cracking programs that will MPEG a CD in minutes. One evening in the library with a portable computer fills out your classical collection a bunch. If Moore's law holds, a terabyte hard drive costing under $100, should appear within 5 years. If some kid shows up on a college campus with one of those filled with MP3's, I can imagine that there will be 30,000 copies within a week. So what's the RIAA to do? And then there are the DVD's. Hint: if you want to crack their security, use a black magic marker to cover up the outer track of nonsense code designed to confuse the copier. ########################################################### In compliance with Reg FD: I would never engage personally in such acts of piracy, or collusion. I wouldn't even use the RIAA standard circuit to normallize my 78 rpm records. /S/ LauA
