Not just P2P. It also affects the CDs (and CD-ROMs) you might buy and want to make a copy of so you can use the copy and keep the original in a safe place.

It affects the computers and other CD-players who aren't designed to cope with the proprietary formats used in copy-protection: they can, literally, make your computer totally unuseable, requiring an expensive  trip to SAV to get things sorted out.

It's about bloody time someone stood up for common sense.

Except for MS. Oh please let them continue with this Palladium/XP control freakery. It'll drive so many people away from Windows and (back) to decent platforms such as the Miggy. :-D
