interesting story here....i wonder how long before the riaa starts wanting to see cddb and gracenote logs...

Hyman said the company didn't keep enough information in its database to be useful to anti-piracy investigators. The technology does log Internet addresses and count CD titles, as well as keep a username for people checking the database, but it does not correlate this data, he said.

"We don't keep the data" that antipiracy investigators might want, Hyman said. "The last thing we'd ever want to do is become some kind of policing entity."
uh huh...well maybe gracenote doesn't but the riaa probably has enough clout to get winamp and wmplayer to set a little code in place that does....this is AOL/TW and M$ afterall....

show of hands here...how many have phoning home turned off in winamp/wmplayer...and outbound connections blocked by your firewall....and if you don't....why don't you...

and on another topic...why does anyone care what eminem does...it just ain't music...it just hurts my old ears...(and i'm not talking the volume...)
