The music industry has always been a pain in the butt. It used to be all
about 'having a license to play music in a bar, restaurant, or other public
place'. Then it was people copying music to compact cassettes.

Bear in mind that DRM starts with the product produced by the record
companies, not Microsoft...

I was talking about the DRM in WPA and WGA, not MS' collusion with RIAA,
although that's equally despicable.

Then why did you post a link about RIAA? I don't see even one link in the
search that is relevant to Vista. They are all about copying MP3 files and
ripping CD's.

The subject of my post was "For all you WPA and WGA Lovers", you will
love this. Get it now or do I need to spell it out more?

Another profound and thought provoking post.

Alias

P.S. When a word ends in "s", one adds an apostrophe to indicate
possession. Another "s" is not correct: Alias'

This is incorrect. When the noun is singular, either way is acceptable.

"James' house" and "James's house" are both acceptable.

When the noun ending in "s" is plural, then only the apostrophe is added.

For some reason, if it is an ancient name, then only the apostrophe is
added, e.g. "Achilles' heel."

No, you don't get it. WGA and WPA are as bad as what the RIAA is doing
with ripping CD songs to a computer. Get it now? The common denominator
is that RIAA and MS want to control what you do with the things you buy.
