    I think if you dont wish to discuss an issue mister 2.30 poster, dont bring it into the topic.
    While any vunerability is worrying I,m glad to note that thus far this is in the realms of the "paper" hack.
    I place great emphasis on the word "Potential".

    It does seem this report is not as widespread and clear as it may well have been.
    My outlook on this, is ok its good news for the music industry propagandists.
    Can you stop flooding the networks now..??

    Why has it grown legs ?
    I read as much as I could about it and was making the point that is often missed at initial purchase, that of buying products with a substantial proprietry lock-in like this one, will mean a monopoly licensing situation that Sony will be all to happy to exploit to gain increased profits.
    Purchasing it only to find this out it the wrong way to go about making informed decisions.

    May I draw your attention to this article ?

    I am all for fair usage rights and a solid base for business too, but,Itunes has been taking advantage of honest folks like me for a long time by overcharging in our marketing zone.
    They have blocked access to other Itunes servers for UK residents, in a callous disregard for my rights as Eu consumer, so please spare me the hard luck stories I have been hearing here of poor Apple.
    Give us a fair deal and get a fair reward for your efforts Apple.
    Otherwise face the consequences

    I wonder why anyone would want to purchase such a product like this, that is like its bigger counterpart full of DRM (digital right management ) technology.
    Reading through the specs I see it introduces yet another proprietory and therefore licensable monopoly into the waiting hands of Sony.
    I often hear it said a fool and his money are easily parted and in this case I think that saying rings true.
