Too tell you the truth, I dont know, at first I thought this might have some promise but as I learned more about the technology I became very skeptical, the ShiftKey dabacle confirmed my skeptcism and the DD research I had, more over, the way Peter handled this PR mess really soured me on his management capabilities and I believe soured the labels on the product for at least the short term future. I still see the labels toying with attempts to manage the copying of CDs and there really isnt very many choices for them to consider so who knows STEH may still have a chance. One thing I have noticed though, I have been going to music and college chatboards lately to see the reactions to this product and what Im seeing is something that I have a problem with as well, it seems for this product to work, the user must install some code on their computer, it is supposed to disable certain processes on your computer, many of the people on the chat boards sat its spyware, this could very well actually encourage people to not use it, the problem I have with that protection scheme is that the code is permanently installed and hidden on the users computer and lord only knows what else its watching and/or recording, STEH has itself stated plans that this "spyware" or code will be also distributed and hidden on computers through the installation of third party software. Anyways, I created this board for the discussion of the pros and cons of this stock, if you try and discuss this on RB you just get attacked by flying monkeys and on I-Hub they just delete any post that isnt waving pompoms for the company, I also have to question the objectiveness of that board considering SunnComms "ask the prez" is always steering people to that board, not to mention that according to Peters bio there, he is a paying member on that site.
