Rio MP3 Player On Hold

Kevin writes "The Diamond Rio is being put on hold due to a court order. I really don't understand how it is even possible. If this is successful can they outlaw CD players and VCR's just because they can play illegally copied material? " Personally, I'm willing to buy one of those Rio's just to make a statement against the RIAA goobers who are making this messy. Note to RIAA:The way you do business is going to die. The Rio is just the first step- wait until Radio moves to the Internet. Why would I listen to WXYZ when wxyz.com will play my exact choice of music? Why would I buy a physical object at all? The future is gonna be great: on demand media will make accessing music better for the everyone. Stop trying to protect your ass with lawsuits and instead try to win the new game by offering consumers what we want. Release all your music as MP3 and figure out a better way to profit then the existing distribution system that rips off the artists, and makes things unecessarily expensive and difficult for consumers. Soapbox mode off.
