Agreed. But, just to play Devil's advocate here, could the recording
industry have forseen the fact that the CD format (which was developed in
the 70s) would become so easy to copy for such a wide number of people?

I hate the fact that labels sue their potential customers. But a return to
vinyl seems unlikely.

We Mac users are quite happy, indeed! ;-)
