From: D. Spencer Hines on 25 Feb 2007 12:52 Very Helpful... Thank You Kindly. "Through a CLERICAL ERROR"... I wonder what the REAL STORY is behind that gaffe... <G> And WHOSE "Clerical Error" -- Sonic's/Roxio's/Microsoft's? "Clerical Error" is another one of those weasel words and phrases like "TYPO" and "MISTAKES WERE MADE" hiding the infamous ANONYMOUS ERROR that inconveniences tens of thousands, sometimes millions, of people -- and hides the crimes of a few.

From: Dale on 25 Feb 2007 13:06 Nah, there's enough trolling in here already. And I participate in responding to it enough already. We all know about DRM and why it's bad. Dale "D.

From: D. Spencer Hines on 25 Feb 2007 14:16 "Dale" simply doesn't understand the larger STRATEGIC and LEGAL issues here -- and the Game of Chicken that is being played. Because he's na�ve.

Dale is also afraid to back up his bugling and grandstanding with EVIDENCE. So he backs off. This is what he said: "DRM sucks." But he can't defend that casual, unsupported assertion with FACTS... So, he runs for the tall grass with his tail between his legs. No Surprises There.
