I think Hollywood is concerned about multiple portable devices because people are increasingly watching film content on their video Ipods. If a college kid pays $15 for a film and downloads it to his computer there is no limit on the number of friends who can upload that movie to their Ipods. That is the crux of the story.

there is a feasible and reasonable logical limit:

the ONLY people who can put it on their iPods are people who visit said dorm kid, and use HIS computer.

If you honestly think several dozen people are going to line up to put a movie on their iPod (and that the kid will let everyone just come in and ues his box) i think that's not realistic.

It's not like i coulud buy a movie from the iTS and put it up on bittorrent or limewire, it can ONLY be loaded onto and ipod from an authorized iTunes.

and one of my points is that the article makes no mention of the restrictions already in place, which i believe to be significant.

anyway, thanks for the feedback. :)
