I think you're getting a little over-excited there. The point, I believe, that Josh is trying to make is that the RIAA had a number of songs flagged awhile back that could "phone home" when they're downloaded via the internet. There's a certain paragraph there that says the words are "I suppose...", which tends to mean that there is some doubt as to how hard-line the RIAA is actually attempting to claim its absurd position in the matter. Since these cases revolve around the fact that these people were actually sharing copies of songs that they purchased, then it would be a safe bet to cushion against that people that make copies for themselves and don't lend the copies out at all would be exempt from such a strike. It's just a bunch of scare tactics, and those that give into them and think that their tracks are covered are finding out otherwise. Of course, in the case of certain ISPs outright blocking P2P traffic, there should be little to worry about on that end of the spectrum. -Scott --- Craig White wrote: > You're scaring me.
