From the article: "As the RIAA-shepherded file-sharing lawsuits wend their way through the courts, we have seen defendants utilizing a handful of different strategies as they fight back. A novel defense comes courtesy of Arista v. Greubel, filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas. David Greubel argues that even if is found liable for copyright infringement, Arista and the other record labels are barred from recovering any damages because the of the Kazaa settlement."

The geek in me would like to add features to this couch such as an ethernet router for those people who visit with their laptops but i don't want to bother setting up wifi to allow them to access as well as some outlets (with sufficient fireproofing) for them to plug in. Since I am already going this far, what does the Slashdot community think I could add to this couch in addition to the aforementioned modifiers? I am an avid gamer and have a nice media center setup.
