Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

things might be getting worse next year:

How is this going to mesh with the digital revolution? Can they really get us hooked on iPods, and then tell us we can't do that with the music we bought any more? Has the digital revolution actually happened, or is it just some privileged kids enjoying themselves?

The people who want to copy-protect CDs are in major denial that the iPod even exists.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

ita is me. I'm all fighting mad. I didn't do anything wrong. Except to buy an iPod I couldn't afford because I thought I could legally load my own personal music library onto it.

ETA: And it didn't (hypothetically) work. Well, it did, it bypassed the software, but the actual song quality is the same.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If the Induce Act had passed Congress, iPods would have arguably become illegal.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

So essentially...I should buy all my future music from Itunes? Is that where we are going?

Eventually, the music industry will remove their collective heads from their asses and admit to themselves that they have to play nice with iPod/iTunes.

If I only had a brain...

I got a new 17" flat panel monitor for Christmas. (Yea Christmas!)

It has three dead pixels. This used to be par for the course in manufacturing flat panels. Is it still, or should I return it?
