I'm not an audiophile. At one point I really wanted to be one, but its just too damn expensive, and to actually take it seriously you need to build rooms around it, from the ground up with no parallel surfaces, etc. I, like most people, value things like portability and flexibility more.

I hope you are right and Apple just ignores this. That would be the best thing to do. Its not like its going to hurt them much. I can't see any positives in making a big issue of it. Now, if this was up to the RIAA and the labels, they would be suing anyone they could sue. And Apple _does_ have to deal with that, as they are a media company too, they do have to appease the all same people and share many of the same interests.

Apple is a vertical hardware and media company. Apple has business interests all over the spectrum, from music to movies to software tools to hardware equipment. The way they handle this kind of thing is going to speak volumes. They are _the_ innovator in the space right now.

Will they react the same way as the other media companies to this reoccurring problem and push the bubble bigger? I think its interesting..
