Was it 15 years ago when edig had going for it security in the muisic business. It was to protect song writers and musicians of their property. Then the crap hit the fan and congress got involved. I can remmeber some of the senatores licking their chops because they saw an oportunity to get involved and as always their hand was out streached. Edig then had the patent rights and we were screwed. I want to be proved wrong. Judges have been known to be among those just like senators. So far we have had to deal with opinions from judges and not the law. We either have patent right and ownership or we don't. The rest is all bull sh--t. This is a game where the rules are being made up as they go along. When that happens little guys like edig get the finger. You will never know what goes on behind closed doors espe4cially when big money is involved. Just think for a moment what it will cost Apple if it all goes edig's way. Think hard, what do you think apple is willing to do to get it all go away. After all they are thieves arn't they.
