I wonder how much WD was paid off by the RIAA.

DMCA aside, WD has partnered with an authorized copyright warehouse/vendor and implemented a safeguard to prevent copyright infringement acts that you yourself condemn. And you have a problem with it?

My issue, unless I misunderstand it won't allow even over my internal network at home. I don't agree with P2P file sharing. Just my opinion.

Then perhaps one of you computer-literate folks can explain exactly what it does and does not block? What sorts of things would a person want to do with a particular file that this device would prevent? (I'm probably just too far behind the times to get what all a man can do with a video file.)

The example I think of is... I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive and I can access it from any computer in my house via my little network. If I understand this correctly, that would cease. I would have to store it locally on each computer, doubling the HD space it takes. The trouble (again as I understand) is it can't differentiate between internal networks and external.

Yeah, yeah. Just trying to point out that there seem to be some specific requirements before the blocking is invoked: Due to unverifiable media license authentication, the following file types cannot be shared by different users using WD Anywhere Access.
If these file types are on a share on the WD My Book World Edition system and another user accesses the share, these file will not be displayed for sharing. Any other file types can be shared using WD Anywhere Access. Don't know what "on a share" means or how the MyBook distinguishes "different" users, but they do seem to be something above merely one guy trying to access his own files over his own network.

if i buy the hardware (to do so), and i have mp3s i legally obtained, i damn well better be able to move them from pc to pc on my internal SAN (not really a LAN!) . what is the point of having a netoworkable (HOME!) pc hard drive other than to share media between boxes?
