When they could probably record it off MTV for nothing, of course  
most folks would have trouble getting it onto their iPod.

Would that be illegal ?? I really don't know.

I certainly won't pay ITMS for a music anything, though I do have my  
niece on one of their "allowance" plans, keeps me from having to  
remember when her birthday is :-)

Although my Mom was having trouble finding a certain Opera recording  
and on a whim I tried ITMS, and was a bit shocked that they actually  
had it (At a premium price, but I guess the Wagner heirs can command  
it).

Nor would I pay whatever the cost is to be able to watch "Disparate  
Housewives" on a 2" screen, or a 40-foot screen for that matter :-)

Maybe watch "The Ring" on my Zaurus ?? (Battery would probably give  
out before Das Rheingold was over) :-)

I do wonder how many folks might be exporting Myth-recorded video to  
handheld devices.

More generally I'd love to see some sort of survey to get an idea how  
many folks are using Myth and for what, but I guess such data would  
be hard to obtain and not very reliable in any case.
