JA,, you are disappointing me!

In general you are reading more carefully what's written in messages posted here. Where do I diss vinyl? Where do I say that CD is my preferred medium? I made a suggestion because the technical aspects of vinyl may interest the (your) readership, given the fact that interest in vinyl is generally rising.

When your magazine writes enthusiastic reviews about under-engineered but over-priced speakers it doesn't threaten me either. However I consider that being dishonest to the reader and think such attitude deserves a comment. That's what Critic's Corner is meant for, isn't it?

As regards copy protection, why does Sony et al. use such methods? You should blame the end-user, not those who defend their legal rights. I agree that this DRM stuff is not exactly ideal and Sony is going probably too far, but were there no people STEALING intellectual property there would be no need to take such drastic measures. Artists like Robbie Williams don't bother if there's a couple of thousand CDs more or less sold, they have a solid contract with the producer. Young artists just getting off the blocks, however, do bother when too many people just copy their music instead of buying it. Shop lifters, pick pockets, burglars are prosecuted, copying music is strictly on the same line, it is NOT respecting the rights of others.
