And we the consummer have the God given right to back up our own personal DVD's,CD's and whatever else is either destructable or can be lost. And they keep fighting a unworthey cause because they will never stop the wide spread copying of Movies and Music over the net. Even if DVD Xcopy is suddenly illegal in the states someone somwhere else in a country such as Palistine or where ever there is no copyright laws. So best solution is Ad-Supportive p2p or when you copy a CD, DVD you get ads and the ads support the artists and that is fair play.

CSS was weak to begin with. This is like a fence company suing someone for jumping over their three foot high fence.

I agree with vudoo that we have an absolute right to protect our investment. Optical media is easily destroyed and the media industry feels it has a God given right to make us pay full price to replace damaged media. They can shove it. I pay hard-earned money for my media and am damn sure going to protect it.

It is a ridiculous endeavor to shut down 321. Chopping heads off the Hydra if you ask me. Freeware ripping apps can't be stopped like a company. They're going to bleed themselves dry dumping all this money into lawsuits that won't stop copying not to mention the lame music and movies they keep pumping out. Instead of investing in new and exciting talent they rely on formulas. The movies tend to rely on tons of CGI along with as many big explosions they can fit in the film - screw finding a stimulating plot. Music has a core of songwriters to write formulatic crap for the current bimbo shaking her tits and ass on stage.

Thank God for indie music and movies.
