Piracy reportedly costs the movie industry over three billion dollars a year and the BDA claims their security standards will restrict large-scale copying while still giving users flexibility in using and managing their own legal copies. While no digital copy protection is "hacker proof" a robust platform was needed for Blu-ray in order to get Hollywood support for the format. As recently as last week Fox said they would support Blu-ray for home video releases in HDTV. This copy protection system is made up of three parts: Advanced Access Content System (AACS), BD+, and ROM Mark. AACS, also used by the rivaling HD-DVD format, enables consumers to share content throughout a home network or internet connection to manage authorized copies...

Unlike huge faceless corporations, Sunfire is the unique, personal vision of one audio genius, Bob Carver. Most audio geniuses would be content to have founded just two landmark audio companies.

He wanted to express these ideas in meticulously-built, premium audio products that would offer exceptional value and sound quality. And that¹s what you get when you buy Sunfire.

I wanted Willie to pull off what seemed like the impossible again. I wanted to love this album, and try to convince a skeptical audience to give it a chance. And you should. But I cannot tell a lie. I've listened more than a dozen times. And except for the first three tracks the one with Toots (of the Maytals) Hibbert is absolute killah it just doesn't work. But hold on! Countryman debuted on the country charts at number 6! And while the critics' reviews trickling in are generally not favorable, the ones from Joe and Jane Fan are. It may be a little premature, but what the heck, I'm feeling presidential: Mission Accomplished, Willie!

Why? At that hour, the local power utility is delivering its cleanest, most accurate power. At midnight, the current flows and system dynamics can be reached that at other hours of the day are impossible. Until now. PurePower is the first and only power conditioner in the world that takes the inbound AC power from the utility, converts it to DC, then back to perfect voltage sinewave with no noise, distortion, spikes, or sags, even if the inbound voltage is ZERO. Its built-in batteries protect and isolate your system from the local utility in a way that no other conditioner can, giving you that "midnight" sound quality every time you listen, regardless of the time of day.
