Saw this story in the local paper this weekend.

Gist: Dockers has a new line of their khaki pants, specially made with pockets for your mobile phone, iPaq, etc.

More info (not much) here.

The movie industry just did a business analysis of the issue. This will not effect their bottom line one bit. Going to court and fighting (and probalby losing) will hit the bottom line.

It comes down to this: Why would anyone copy a DVD to a video tape? Great quality to poor quality. The video is probably available in stores anyway.

Or, who would put a whole DVD on a hard drive? Space is cheap, but, HD's aren't that portable, not to mention trying to download that much data.

$$$ is the real issue and the movie industry isn't going to waste it on lawyers. The possible returns from winning are not equal to the lost revenue that would happen if they wait to issue more movies.
