Seems like the Evil Empire may end up shooting itself in the foot. Along with the record comapanies. I think Apple has been smart to embrace digital music the way it has. Place trust in the consumer and allow them their fair use rights. I for one think that if MicroSoft pushes too hard then a lot of people will FINALLY get fed up and start taking a look at Apple. If we get some really nice new hardware on top of that, along with some reasonable pricing (bows in Matsu's direction) we may see some double digit market share for the first time in a while.

    -Lower their prices while

    -Making better (faster?) hardware and

    -Go under RIAAs (aka the new Big Brother) radar

    Maybe, maybe not, but if I was looking for a computer, and knew that Mac's did not restrict me in such a way...it would be a big point in favor of buying one.



    I honestly have NO idea how all this RIAA stuff will pan out. I just thought the article was interesting .
