I think the old adage "the horse is out of the barn" applies to this nonsense. You'd think the music business would have learned its lesson by now.

Just last week on this very forum there was a thread about a device the size of an iPod that will be capable of holding half a million songs or 3,500 feature films.

Considering they can't keep thousands of tonnes of illegal narcotics or stop millions of illegal immigrants (real live human beings!) from crossing borders, I find it hard to believe they'll be capable of stopping everyday travellers who happen to have 8000 cds nonchalantly stored in their pocket.

Is there such a thing as an MP3 sniffing dog?

And never mind that pesky "internet" that they are still trying to fight, even though they were knocked out of the ring 10 years ago.

People listen to music all the time now. Everywhere. The desire for the product is at an all time high, and here they are still trying to fight it. This whole rigmarole seems kind of like Henry Ford spending millions to oppose the construction of the interstate.
