This reminds me of Vilayanur Ramachandran's talk on TED: A journey to the center of your mind

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/vilayanur_ramachandran_on_your_mind.html

UK Music Fans Can Copy Own Tracks 154

Posted by Zonk from the like-they-should-have-been-able-to dept.
An anonymous reader writes "BBC news is reporting that music fans in the UK won't have to fear litigation from the British Phonographic Industry. Peter Jamieson, chairman of the British Phonographic Industry, said 'consumers would only be penalized if they made duplicates of songs for other people.'" From the article: "Mr Jamieson also called for Apple - which makes the popular iPod portable music player - to open up its iTunes software so it is compatible with the technology of other manufacturers. Apple applies a digital protection system to its downloads, which means they are not usually compatible with other companies' devices. "
