I seem to recall that in the past the publishers and distributors appeared to 
feel they ran the entire planet.  Specifically, they felt threatened by 
recordable 4 MM DAT, CDs, DVD, and such, and attempted to get legislation to 
outlaw such devices.

Well, the music world isn't everything.  (Several of them just had a heart 
attack.)  The IT world needed the recordable devices.  The assholes didn't care. 
  There got that off my back.  I'll also say that the internet is giving them 
all that they deserve for their attitudes, and that gives me a smile.
