Nothing can be done about keeping people from copying copyrighted material on the internet. Although I'd agree with you that something does need to be done, you might be disappointed to hear that it's that they need to stop trying to stop copyright infringement. RIAA, MPAA, "Hollywood", were too slow to adapt to the internet (they couldn't as digital laws only came later), and now they are unable to catch up with the rest of the world. It's as though they're still stuck in the Napster days. Anyways, it would be in their best interest to refrain from spending money on going after consumers. Music artists nowadays have adapted to the internet and have their fans be much more involved in the music making process, and that seems to be working out for them even without record labels.

Exactly what I meant to say. I didn't mean to make it seem like I was speaking about the law enforcement officials on duty. It's more along the lines of: "Hollywood, figure your shit out without having to sue everyone because unless you can shut down the internet you won't ever have your nice pre internet revenues, so adapt like the rest of us"

Seriously, this will in no way keep people who pirate from pirating some more. If anything it just wastes tax money and time. What could they possibly try to be achieving by doing this?

I can't see many owners of iPod touches wanting to get the new one, although new buyers might be attracted to it. But for the most part I think the people who'd have an i device in the first place would already have one by now.
