Is that what computer owners want? Slower computers that can't copy MP3 files without paid authorization?

Wonderful.
Foreign Muslim Mass Murder terrorists have made travel a living hell for everybody, and now losers who feel they have a "right" to use copyrighted material are about to make computing a living hell for everybody else.

Talk about mixed feelings here.
I can't generate a whole lot of sympathy or outrage here...

Just a correction.

Any "solution" that fails to distinguish between my using MY OWN CDs to make music files for my own use and illegally copying CDs is a defective solution without merit.

Tell me how this will make your computing life better. Let's see. You try to fire up Easy CD-DA extractor to make some mp3s from a CD you bought to put in your RIO or iPod to take to the gym and your computer locks up because you ran "illegal code." One thing comes to mind: "Hello Mr. Smith, all your base are belong to us!"
