I think Melanie is very grounded, and her honesty is refreshing. I don't totally agree, especially about the Metacreations item. As previsouly noted, I am totally against anti-piracy measures, I think they're absurd/irellevant ... but I'm pretty sure CL will gain more customers than they will lose, even with the galling (IMHO) copy-protection. No offense, but as to the "car keys theory" posted by Mega, I won't even begin to waste my time to explain why that is NOT EVEN CLOSE to being a valid analogy. Just think about it for 5-10 seconds and I'm sure you (or anyone else who accepted it) will understand why. Sorry, that's just not even remotely valid. Bottom line though ... what the music industry is considering doing is 100 times worse. I'm just waiting for the day when consumers finally stand up and say enough is enough. Or is it too late? -Tim
