Eh?

People will sue for pretty much anything now. I think I'll sue my mom because she gave birth to me which means I have a 100% chance of dying.

What an idiot. What did you think would happen when you took tiny speakers, smashed them against your ear drums and cranked them up to 110 db for hours ata time? Obviously you thought Apple was lying when they put all those warnings about volume levels in the box.

Holy crap I walked right into that one.

Actually, this guy didn't go deaf. He hasn't even suffered any hearing loss, according to his lawyer. The lawsuit addresses the possibility that an ipod could, theoretically, cause hearing loss, and is therefor an unsafe product.

Why not sue Sony for making the original Walkman then? Why not sue every electronics manufacturer? Talk about a lawsuit you can't win

Exactly. Don't forget about automobile and airspace manufacturers, either.

Oh, and don't Brittney Spear's/Ashlee Simpson's music producers.
