All Apple did was prevent songs with faked DRM (reverse engineered by Real networks) from playing on Apple's iPods. Apple won the class action law suit because a jury, after only three hours of deliberation, decided based on the evidence that Apple had done nothing wrong. It turns out not a single individual lost a song, as court evidence showed. The plaintiffs were unable to show Apple was guilty of antitrust violation. So they lost the case. Plain and simple. > No matter if it was legal or not, apple had absolutely no rights to know > about any of that Bull. Actually, Apple didn't invade anyone's privacy, because all Apple needed to knoe was the proper DRM, and simply prevented reverse engineered faked DRM from playing on Apple iPods. All of this is history. The details are readily available on the internet for anyone who bothers to read. The fact that you didn't bother learning anything about it before opening your mouth says everything we need to know about you. Hard fail. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
