The RIAA's business model has been the modern day equivalent of requiring the red flag in front of the horseless carriage since they sued Napster. It's sad, but inevitable. Since they are all lawyers, the only tool they know how to use is lawsuits and absurd regulation. Enjoy your ringside seat at how the giants of old become the dinosaurs of the future, and just focus on moving the ball forward.

fm-radio-in-cell-phones-is-the-future.ars RIAA says Congress should mandate that FM radio receivers be builtinto cellphones, PDAs, and other portable electronics. Is the RIAA so backward that they think broadcast radio is the
latest
technology?Why not AM radio? As I heard once on Monty Python, "Explain to me the logic underlyingthatstement."Once again, Einstein is proven correct. The depths to which stupidity will sink knows no bounds. I'm so tossed off kilter that I can't even boggle over it successfully! However, on the off chance that this thing passes, can we at least get the little manual tuning wheel? That'd be a nice, nostalgic addition to the next gen iPhone. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
