[QUOTE="mPod, post: 74477, member: 11199"] Well, I'm always happy when users care about copyright issues and the MP project. ;) But what you brought up is not problematic for us. Sorry if my posts came across a bit harsh, it wasn't meant this way. ;) Things that we won't have (because of copyright issues that could lead to closing down the project) will be: Ripping by cracking protection or make it possible to use TV emulators for smartcards. (Won't be discussed here on the forums, please.) Those things are valid objections. But not copying unprotected (or even protected) stuff from an MP3 player, especially because if those AAC files are protected, that protection is not removed by copying. You still need an iTunes validation for them to play. Downloaded MP3 stuff is something else, we cannot control such, of course. [/QUOTE]
