Backups are insurance for digital materials, so your analogy holds as long as you don't refuse to talk about backups. ;) Seriously though, this has been thought of already and sued out of existence in that it incurs the same royalty and fraud problems that my.mp3.com famously "dealt" with. I don't doubt that something like this may exist in the future, but it's not fair to begrudge Warp its absence. -eric --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
