Somewhere in lawyerland, a RIAA rep slaps his forehead and goes, "Duh!"
If only the studios could convince more people that digital *copies* aren't as good as the original... :twisted:

Or, conversely, make originals that are noticeably better than any copy could be...

Too bad this realization comes ten years too late...
