My point is that the AAs, the ones doing the suing, can't give a straight answer as to whether transfering a DVD to your iPod is something they think is okay or not. Meaning: at their discretion, they could decide to sue over this or not. It's up to circuit City is they want to skate on this thin ice or not, but the AAs have made it clear that pretty much anything you do, no matter how harmless, is fair game to them, in the face of all common sense.
