So can VCR's. But the court has ruled previously that technology is not the bad guy.

The whole point of this thread is that that view has been convoluted into meaninglessness. If I invent something and say "This can be used illegally." while you invent the same damn thing but don't say that, I'm liable and you are not, as if users couldn't figure out on their own in two seconds what they can do with it. With drug paraphernalia that could be used for tobacco or pot, they banned the device for what it COULD be used for, not what the maker said, which was usually "tobacco". You see the court splits hairs in order to arrive at conclusions that are completely contradictory, arbitrary and designed to fill the courts and oppress the people by dragging them through kafkaesque and irrational proceedings.

True.

I will continue to download music and be even more brazen about it partly due to this ruling.
