Welcome to the Digital Millennium:
Recording industry cops are
raiding Taiwanese university dorms, looking for students
who copy MP3 files, with the intent of prosecuting them for ruinous
punitive damages, to set an example. Meanwhile, students have taken to
physically destroying hard drives or carrying their loot on removable discs.
(Perhaps the time is right for some cypherpunk scofflaw to create a
crypto-enabled MP3 player, one which makes it impossible to identify MP3
files without having the key? Of course, given the way governments have
bent over to their corporate paymasters, possession of such an item would
probably count as proof of guilt in the New World Order.)
