Well - to EMI's credit, Holger Turck had no reason to mention copying the CD in the first place. "Keep it simple stupid" would have been my approach i.e. "Why is it that I purchased this multimedia CD and yet it does not function on these various platforms? This is not copy protection. This is inconvenience." That would have prompted a more appropriate response. On the other side of the coin, I'm really amazed that the music industry is so quick to blame the consumer. In my view, they need to look in their own back yard. If the industry chooses to spend much of its energy and money promoting "Disney" acts like NSync and Britney, does it come as any surprise that revenue expectations aren't being met? A kid only gets so much allowance a week after all. They need to realize that by selling low risk, predictable, packaged artists, they are going to miss out on the larger paying public, which includes a) people with money that actually like to spend it on music, and b) people with tastes other than what the industry packages and promotes at this time. I'm always blown away at how they miss the mark on such a vast scale. I look at my evergrowing collection of music. Apart from stuff I bought when I first started listening to music at all and the occasional remaster of some classic, the major label releases make up a smaller percentage of my collection ever day. ------------------------------------ m a r t  l e p p i k  -  floor115 ------------------------------------ __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
