Engadget, you crack me up

So I read this article on engadget today talking about how movie companies are going after the new Real Player software for it's ability to rip and archive DVDs. I thought one line in this article was particularly funny where the author is giving a hint to the movie industry...I think the music industry should probably also follow suit.

Here's a hint, guys: if you believe the temptation to do something is that strong, it probably means you can get people to pay to do it -- and you should probably be working out a business model that embraces consumers instead of funding new BMWs for your lawyers while actual piracy tears down the fragile house of cards your entire industry is built on. Or you know, whatever.
