looks good to me

The best line

QuoteFirms employing DRM systems needed to be aware that using such systems in the UK would mean they "run a significant risk of being prosecuted for criminal actions".

DRM only restricts those who have bought the music legally, anyone else can get the MP3 or whatever from the web without any problem.

TBH they arent trying to protect the artists rights but their own fat pay packets...

Hopefully the UK will move along the same lines as the French government on this.

Did you obtain a copy licence from the author before rebistributing that thread? Oh Never mind the UK Government is going to permit copying for personal use, maybe I shouldnt be reading the stuff you put in quotes heh.
