Michael, Yes. I would like to hear more about whether this has been reviewed by industry or standards type groups. But it is a direct attempt by IOM to 'take charge' in the issue of Copyright and Royalty wrt the music and video industry. Rene mentioned that there was a lawsuit over MP3 or somesuch and he, Rene, pointed out that this might be a way for IOM leap-frog ahead and address whatever is being contested.... I think we just were treated to a pre-announcement. Just like we were pre-announced about the 'larger, cheaper drives' last month. Probably more details will come out in a press release. Ben A.
