For the record i am not a media company stooge but i do work in finance
and have a more sensible view of the world that most people who think
big business is all evil etc (except of course the companies they work
for or have invested in), and drm can't be stopped even though we know,
for example, that the fbi can stop porn on the net and the us government
have stopped online gambling.

Most of all i am disgusted at how much potential there is in the
squeezebox and yet how dreadful the reality is. i spent three weeks
writing a tagging program powerful enough for my needs and i am buying
a $700 robotic arm to scan my cd collection. my girlfriend keeps says
"William why are you doing all this stuff... Obviously they are going
to come up with a better way". I keep saying to her not if the general
public don't wake up to the importance of drm.

I know paying for music will be a bit of a bummer but if we start
buying it again the quality will go up and the price will go down so it
will be worth it!
