Oh, I agree. It's always easier to promote a well-known technology than to
try to stop a well-known technology. It's like VHS and Beta: After they
were both becoming well established (and before VHS "won out"), the movie
industry, who were previously trying their hardest to STOP the technology,
decided to embrace it and promote their movies on a format. Now we have
how many video-rental stores? :D
It's just a matter time. If you're in the US, write to your state rep. in
support of NOT supporting copyright law extensions (life + 75 yrs? wtf?)
