Playing with any kind of registered patent is potentially risky. As you can see I'm starting sites which will be my ground links for my mp3 law site. Here you go and enjoy!<a href="http://haski.helloweb.eu/">Haski</a> and <a href="http://sun.helloweb.eu/">Sun</a> are my foundations for further development of websites. As I explained, I'll try to focus on mp3 world of law. See ya soon... I totally agree with pinky, but now I have to say that mp3 zone is really on the other side of the law.

Maybe I would feel less bitter if they'd simply stamped a big red "WARNING" banner on their documentation. ----- No i dont no! ----- <a href="http://nimson.net/">download mp3</a> Both Apple and Microsoft are trying to protect their DRM schemes (which isn’t a bad idea), but in doing so they’ve made it much more difficult to use their products.

Protecting the keys -- of course. But protecting the mechanics of the <b>scheme</b>? That's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_through_obscurity">weak crypto</a>. “Both Apple and Microsoft are trying to protect their DRM schemes (which isn’t a bad idea)…”

I know this might be an unpopular sentiment here but lacking any contact information I can use to send to Songbird directy and politely, it galls me to land on the homepage and see that message about Songbird being the "Firefox of media players" which has been up for who knows how long; dudes! They have product! Mature product! They are actually into a version that has whole numbers while for the life of me the only thing I can see on Songbird is something about 2007. Is the Vista team working on this or what? And to have version 0.25 (a VERY funny version number BTW) be PPC and not Intel-ready, well I guess whatever passes for progress is cool right? That's it for now; I was jacked about this but after months of checking and nothing firmer in the way of a release schedule it's time to move this closer to vaporware... Really cute icons tho!

We have no troubles. Well, until you want to burn your fairplay tracks to CD. For that you'll likely still need iTunes. But the point is to stop buying from them in the first place, right? Eh?

Steve Jobs actually put out on interesting little tidbit on Apple.com titled "Thoughts on Music" http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughtsonmusic/ . If somehow it worked out, this could put an end to all your troubles. On the subject of DRM.

This is also awesome for persuading regular users that this will be a good replacement. Makes me wonder though how the big DRM people will react when songbird goes mainstream. ------------------------ www.craketech.net This is great finally I might be able to escape my old media player that I got stuck with due to DRM.

I'm eagerly waiting for the other new developments! Good job on struggling through the muck of DRM and coming out on top! Keep up the good work.
