  16. Why not buy a congressman and send Sony a letter thanking them
  17. for making digital sound possible while you still liked bass?

  19. If the cable-descrambling-chip black market is any indication,
  20. within four years you will be able to get a contraband SCMS
  21. defeater for about $100 and the mob will get all the profits.
  22.  
  23. Even some of the dumbest people I know have been able to
  24. watch HBO for free since 1988 because of this sort of thing.
