Re: Analysis of the MediaMax CD3 Copy-Prevention System

Dear Mr. Jacobs,

I am writing to inform you that I would be very interested in joining 
any legal action brought against your company for infringing on my 
rights as a consumer if such action is possible.

I would also like to relate to you my experiences. I routinely go off 
road with an appropriate vehicle, this environment is not safe for the 
original media the music is distributed on. Naturally I use my backup 
copies of the music to prevent a loss should they be destroyed during my 
off road adventures. I assure you that this happens often.

I am not sure if you have picked up a CD that has fallen out onto the 
rocks during a crawl and been run over or otherwise damaged. I am happy 
to inform you that the CD is no longer usable. This damaged media is 
promptly discarded and a new backup is made when I return home and have 
an opportunity to again backup the master copy. This is not "ripping" 
and it is not theft.

I also use a Toshiba laptop that has a shift key and runs Microsoft 
Windows XP. If you plan legal action against Microsoft or Toshiba for 
distributing these tools I would be very interested in joining your 
cause. I believe that these tools are only distributed to circumvent 
your protections. The fact that it violates my rights can be settled 
with a separate action which should be brought against you and your company.

All sarcasm aside. I do not know if your contact information provided by 
whois is correct and assume that it is in fact incorrect. Unfortunately 
this is the only information available to me so that I may personally 
contact you to express my opinion. I have copied 
full-disclosure () lists netsys com in the hope that you will receive this 
letter should these conventional methods fail.

Thank you for you time.

Kind Regards,
Jason.
