Hi Peter.

I don't think it is the fact that some people swap songs who cause the "closedown" or new restrictions, but rather the fact that there was become far to much of it, and that there also was genuine copyrighted styles enclosed.
If we see it from the business part and also the common rules about copyrighted stuff, I have no problem to understand that some kind of reaction had to come.
But it is the way it happen who get the "blood heated", because it could have been done in a much better way.

Regarding to Alec's book, no it was not that, because if so, would Technote make the link for Keynote to help people find it? No, it's probably the massive swap of disks who caused it, but it might as well have been other things.

Kind regards
GJ
