One other "anecdote"...rumours are Apple is working on restricting # of copies of a downloaded tune and other "choice" methods to prevent ripping tunes "off" to a CD, and of course most of the industry is doing the same. Kind of like the interlock that prevents VHS Tapes to be copied digitally to DVD format "noise free". So large downloaded personal libraries are at risk and why the music and manufacturing industries are promoting new hardware and software on a song by song "play per view" basis and NOT promote albums or hard copy original CD's and DVD's they cannot control.
