,----[ Quote ]
| The problem is, this type of filter doesn't exist (and judging from other 
| types of filtering software, would take literally years to get to a point 
| where it would be even reasonably accurate). It seems, then, yes, the courts 
| have given the record labels the go ahead to sue application developers for 
| features that don't exist, and might not ever be a technological reality.
