Wouldn't the "E-Mpeg, Phone Home" on sync feature be kind of Big Brother / Microsoft XP registration invasion of privacy? Sure, it's great that my IP and SN are being broadcast to a friendly server for security incase my player ever gets stolen, but what about when I use it myself? Do I really want my IP and sync times being sent out for someone else to view, store, and potentially have hacked and stolen from an insecure server? Sure, those times may not mean much to anyone, but they can show where I was at certain times (preciesly the reason I don't use dang EZPass on the highways). That may be an invasion of privacy.
