Just to continue this, if I may. That's why they call Hollywood, LA-LA LAND! You spend just a little time, there, and you too will lose sight of reality. But, then, lest we forget, a lot of our frustration is due to the fact that there are a lot of would-be movie stars sitting in our Congress and Senate, drooling over the money and promises of "stardom" from RIAA's idiot lobbyists. Talk about not being able to connect the dots!!! Tom P.S. I asked the folks at HeroineWarrior to provide some links to the actions levied against others that they mentioned. I don't think this aspect of the DMCA issue has been given enough attention. Poor Dmitry and Prof Felton, maybe, but what about the others? Should find out.
Assuming that heroinewarrior was a dot com rather than an org, I assume their intent was to eventually make money on the product. I doubt that concerns about warranty and liability tell the whole story given the number of other tools out there such as rippers, video editing tools, and burners. It may have been as much as a business decision of risk versus rewards and maybe the market just simply wasn't there. Following the link to Sourceforge, I wonder what the current developers are going to do as those folks have made an investment in time in building an open source application. Finally, I wonder and maybe someone can answer, is Broadcast2000 in the 7.3 release of SuSE Professional? Still waiting for it to arrive here... Clint Jon Pennington wrote:
