If anyone in the US is feeling pissy about the whole copy-protection on CDs deal, go to http://www.digitalconsumer.org/cbdtpa/cbdtpa-inf.html and fill out the form. They'll fax it to your representative. You can also add to the form message; if you vote often, or vote in the primary for the party of your representative, you might mention that and let them know that you care about the subject, and will remember the next time you have a ballot in front of you. (My husband is leaving a voice message for one of our senators this morning on the subject, as well.) Julia
