That may be true, but unless I am reading things wrong here, the judge said that under the law as it is written, the products are ok.

The answer to me is, if it is a problem, then the laws should be changed.

I don't like when courts change (or expand) laws.

I agree, me neither. But I think I'm definitely in the minority on this thread arguing that an "open" music industry is a bad thing. It's not a good thing if you believe in private property, contractual integrity, or the creation of new music.

Here is an analogy for everyone:

Someone sues gun and stocking makers because a gun and stocking was used in a bank heist, and forbids them from selling their wares.

This judge is properly protecting 3rd parties from being forbidden from doing something legal that might be used by others for illegal purposes.

"The answer to me is, if it is a problem, then the laws should be changed."

Good observation.
