The industry is now scared and irrational : what Heckler is suggesting is far more vast than Carnivore and shows a lack of the creativity necessary to protect ( evolve? ) their revenue streams. They'll cheer at a few brief victories, a few little guys will suffer, while the lawyers profit and the sharing systems improve by leaps and bounds. Go back to GO. Thimk Different. ( Man I hate those stupid billboards ) Thimk Better, maybe. MikeTitle: CDR: Fw: Sony vs. Napster
